What happens if you M-: (remove-hook 'gnus-summary-prepare-exit-hook 'gnus-summary-expire-articles) RET, then exit a group? Does that help? Back some years ago, when I was using total-expire, I used to have this in ~/.gnus and then, every day, before going to lunch, I would issue C-c C-M-x in the Group buffer. (I had a different keybinding for this, though.) Kai
