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). HTH, eric -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.90.1 + No Gnus v0.18
