If you type "G c" in the *Group* buffer for the Inbox group, you can
adjust settings to do what you want. In particular, look for:
,----
| [X] Automatic Expire
| All articles that are read will be marked as expirable.
|
| [X] Expire Wait: [Value Menu] 14
| When to expire. More
`----
(not contiguous in the buffer).
