Gnus is version 5.10.6 (from Debian testing) and the Exchange server reports "Microsoft Exchange 2000 IMAP4rev1 server version 6.0.6249.0". I have auto-expire set for most of my folders and recently noticed that, despite being marked 'E', messages obviously old enough were not actually being deleted from the server. Looking at some IMAP protocol traffic shows why: It looks like Exchange is choking on the query for expirable messages that are more than 7 days old. Here's a snippet from the log when exiting from the summary buffer for one afflicted folder: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D 12424 UID SEARCH UID 31938:31940,31950,31953:31954,31965,31967:31968,31973,= 31981,31984,31987:31988,31992:31993,31995,32025,32051,32067,32267,32297,323= 01:32302,32304:32305,32314:32316,32319:32321,32323:32327,32330:32338,32341,= 32343,32347:32348,32350:32352,32354:32356,32359,32361,32377:32379,32383,323= 85:32386,32388:32389,32394:32397,32399:32400,32405,32409:32410,32413,32415,= 32418,32420,32422,32428,32439:32447,32449:32450,32452:32453,32455,32476:324= 78,32480:32484,32486:32492,32494:32495,32506,32511,32513:32514,32516,32520:= 32521,32523,32526:32527,32552,32579,32584,32587,32593,32595,32609:32610,326= 12:32615,32617,32619:32623,32628:32629,32632:32634,32636:32637,32639,32641:= 32644,32651:32656,32658:32664,32666,32668,32672,32676:32677,32679,32681:326= 88,32692:32693,32705,32710,32712,32714:32717,32719:32720,32722,32736,32738,= 32749,32755,32758,32760:32765,32767:32769,32771,32775,32779,32787,32790,327= 95:32796,32798:32799,32801,32803,32806,32808,32812:32816,32822,32836:32843,= 32845,32847,32852:32855,32858:32859,33273,33277,33279:33280,33282:33285,332= 87:33293,33295:33300,33302:33306,33308:33315,33317,33319,33321:33322,33324:= 33327,33329:33336,33338:33340,33342:33346,33349:33355,33357:33363,33365:333= 71,33373:33379,33381:33382,33384:33387,33389:33408,33410:33413,33415:33421,= 33425,33431:33433,33437:33438,33440:33441,33443:33445,33447:33452,33455:334= 61,33464:33466,33469,33471:33472,33474:33478,33480:33484,33486:33493,33495:= 33496,33498:33505,33507,33509:33511,33513:33519,33521,33523,33535:33559,335= 61:33566,33568:33571,33573,33575:33580,33582,33584:33586,33588:33589,33592:= 33609,33611:33620,33622,33624,33627:33628,33630:33631,33633,33635:33637,336= 41:33642,33645,33647:33656,33658:33661,33663:33665,33675,33677:33680,33682:= 33694,33703,33714:33717,33719:33720,33793,33795:33798,33800:33802,33804:338= 06,33808:33816,33818:33829,33831:33839,33844,33850:33860,33862:33878,33880:= 33891,33893:33901,33903,33905:33906,33908,33910,33913,33915:33916,33918:339= 27,33929:33930,33932:33940,33942:33948,33954,33958,33960:33964,33966:33968,= 33970:33981,33983:33984,33986:34017,34019:34024,34026,34028:34035,34037:340= 38,34040:34041,34043:34045,34047:34058,34060,34062:34069,34072:34078,34080,= 34082,34084:34093,34095:34098,34100:34102,34105,34107:34112,34114:34133,341= 35,34137:34142,34145:34150 NOT SINCE 21-Oct-2004=0D 12424 NO Unspecified error.=0D 12425 STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN)=0D * STATUS INBOX (UNSEEN 0)=0D 12425 OK STATUS completed.=0D 12426 EXPUNGE=0D =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D So at the moment, I'm pretty much stuck. The only way I can find to successfully delete these is to select them in small groups (20-30 messages) and use B to delete them from the server. There are close to 2000 expirable messages in this folder, so this is going to take a while :-) Are there any known work arounds for this problem? Anyone have any ideas how Gnus could be "fixed" to deal with this response? --=20 =3D=3D=3D=3D( Chris Newbold )=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Laurel Networks, Inc. voice: +1 412 809 4200 fax: +1 412 809 4201 "If you fool around with a thing for very long you will screw it up." --Mur= phy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---
