Hi,
My IMAP mail is currently organised as quite a few nested folders, which
I group together using topics:
[mail]
[general]
nnimap+mail.my.provider.com:INBOX
nnimap+mail.my.provider.com:sent
[work]
nnimap+mail.my.provider.com:this
nnimap+mail.my.provider.com:that
nnimap+mail.my.provider.com:theother
[private]
nnimap+mail.my.provider.com:friends
nnimap+mail.my.provider.com:family
[news]
...
If I use G G on a topic to search for a message and get several results,
is there a way to find out which folder each message found is in?
Cheers
Loris

I think, there's no way to see that information from the nnir search
results summary. But you can "warp" to any article found in its
originating group:
,----[ (info "(gnus)Basic Usage") ]
| The `nnir' group made in this way is an `ephemeral' group, and some
| changes are not permanent: aside from reading, moving, and deleting,
| you can't act on the original article. But there is an alternative: you
| can _warp_ to the original group for the article on the current line
| with `A W', aka `gnus-warp-to-article'. Even better, the function
| `gnus-summary-refer-thread', bound by default in summary buffers to `A
| T', will first warp to the original group before it works its magic and
| includes all the articles in the thread. From here you can read, move
| and delete articles, but also copy them, alter article marks, whatever.
| Go nuts.

Bye,

Thanks for the hint (why didn't I think of googling for 'warp'?), but I
don't get it. What is supposed to happen? Using the bindings or
calling the functions explicitly doesn't seem to do anything.
Cheers

You can have the original group displayed in the summary line. Check out
the nnir customization node in the info file. The relevant bit is:
`nnir-summary-line-format'
The format specification to be used for lines in an nnir summary
buffer. All the items from `gnus-summary-line-format' are
available, along with three items unique to nnir summary buffers:
%Z Search retrieval score value (integer)
%G Article original full group name (string)
%g Article original short group name (string)
If nil (the default) this will use `gnus-summary-line-format'.
