Subject: Marking a whole imap-Folder as Expired
Date: 3 Oct 2011 08:51:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d3ee4lgj.fsf@rub.de> (raw)

Hi to all

Since I use my imap account not only with Gnus but also with K9
(Android) I have some problems with the expired-mark. As far as I can
see, non-Gnus clients cannot set an Email as expired, can they?

Therefore, I have several messages in my inboxes marked with "O" (old),
which excludes them from the expiry-process. Back in Gnus I have to
manually set them to expired with by hitting "E" one after the other. 

Is there a faster way to do this? 

Setting the folder to auto-expiry and hitting "C"
(gnus-summary-catchup-and-exit) does not work, because it affects only
new messages.

Thanks for a hint,

Sven
