The `expirable' mark works fine with nnimap. I use it every day. Potential problem: the `expirable' mark is specific to nnimap, and other IMAP clients don't know about it. Therefore, the other clients won't do expiration (which isn't a problem, I guess). I'm not sure whether another IMAP client might remove the expirable mark because it doesn't understand it -- I hope not. The problem with `deleted' messages is different: there is an IMAP message flag `\Deleted' which is used by other IMAP clients to mark messages for deletion. Later, they do an expunge operation which deletes all the messages flagged `\Deleted'. nnimap can't show any messages flagged `\Deleted'. The `\Deleted' flag has nothing to do with expiry, though. That's a different flag. kai -- Beware of flying birch trees.
