I wish I could get this to work for my nnimap groups. I finally convinced my ISP to enable user-defined flags, so "gnus-expire" or whatever the expiry flag is shows up, but my expiry marks don't seem to be recognized across different machines. That is, I see an nnimap article at work, mark it as expirable, come home and connect to the same server, and see that same article with no expiry mark. We discussed this a few months ago=B9, and at that time the advice was twofold: stop syncing .newsrc.eld, and get user-defined flags enabled on the IMAP server. I've done both, and still find the whole syncing system to be a mess. After each sync, the agent remains confused as ever.
