After toying arround with Gnus at the weekend: Yes, there is .overview
in ~/News/agent/nnimap/<host>/<mailbox>/ that contains UIDs and (among
others) the message-id header.  However it seems like there is no
function in gnus-cache.el to query the UID ("message number") for a
given message-id.

A hacky solution could be to do the lookup manually in org-gnus.el: If
the backend is nnimap and this cache file exists and a customization
variable `org-gnus-foo' is set, open the file and try to find the UID
for this message-id.

Best,
