But you can't set marks on the server when using a mail source.

A mail source is just for pulling in email messages that is then managed
by groups using other, local, email backends (eg. nnmh, nnml, possibly
nnmailbox).

If you want to set marks on an IMAP server, you have to make nnimap
groups of the folders on the server.
