No. I think setting expiry-wait to never means that nothing is
expired.
Normally, you can mark a message as expirable by hitting `E'.
Auto-expire means that Gnus hits `E' for you. Nothing more, nothing
less.
Total-expire means that messages marked E are expirable, as always,
but *also* messages marked r, R, Y, K and so on are considered
expirable.
Adaptive scoring does not work with auto-expire because it depends on
the different marks r, R, Y, K etc. But using auto-expire means that
messages will be marked E, instead.
It used to be that total-expire was slower than auto-expire. I don't
know whether this is still true.
