Outlook starts to slow down immensely if my Inbox gets too large, so I regularly move old messages to an archive folder. In my ~/.gnus.el, I've got ;; Make expired messages go to Archive folder (setq nnmail-expiry-target "nnimap+MSPB:Archive") so I just manually mark older messages as expired. What I'd like to do is automatically mark read messages in my Inbox as expired, so I don't periodically have to go through and mark, say, a hundred of them manually. Is this possible? I looked in the manual at what seemed likely in the index, but nothing popped out at me.
