Is it in a local mail group? >> Is it in an nnmailbox group on the server > On the server. 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.
