Subject: Fully automatizing expiry
Date: 2 Apr 2012 10:36:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8762difs3i.fsf@rub.de> (raw)

Hi

As far as my Gnus knowledge extends, it is necessary to manually trigger
the expiry process. Can that be automatized?

Due to server-space restrictions I have to expire some imap-folders every
day. My expiry settings work fine since many years, but it's necessary
to visit a group's summary buffer and to exit it again in order to
execute the expiry process. When I'm not at home for some days, I run
into server-space problems, because the old mails, that are marked for
expiry, aren't actually deleted from the server.

Is there a function like 'expire-group-now "INBOX"' that could be called
on a regular schedule?

Thanks for a hint.

Sven
