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. -- A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
