Hi,
I have (finally :) succeeded in setting up the expired articles to be
moved to nnfolders. What I don't like with the way it works now is,
after this expiration process I end up with all those updated nnfolder
groups as changed (and unsaved) buffers in my XEmacs. I'd like to
1. Have nnfolders save themselves each time a message is added (disk
access if fast; losing articles - or having to restore them from
auto saves - is bad).
2. Have these nnfolder buffers delete themselves at some point
auto-magically (or perhaps just have them delete themselves after
each article is added, after saving).
Any ideas or pointers to the relevant places in the docs would be
appreciated. Thanks.

Cheers,

Sorry to followup to my own post - but... I wonder why nobody replied
- is it because I'm asking a completely stupid question and missing
something bloody obvious? The problem is (or at least seems) serious
enough to me (esp the non-saving of nnfolders - if my emacs crashes -
which happens - I will get asked about restoring the "dribble" buffer
but I have no idea how if at all I'll get asked about the nnfolder
autosaved buffers - will I?), and I'm tempted to try and hack
something up myself to fix that - but before I do - maybe I'm missing
something? Gnus gurus, what do you say? Thx.

This is doubleplus-unfast if you're gzipping 30MB nnfolders, and
you're copying a few hundred messages into them at a time. (My former
usage pattern... now I don't gzip, but saving a 30MB file 150 times
in a row is not fast by any stretch of the imagination.)
In any case, there's no predefined functionality. A patch was posted
a few weeks ago to save every article move, but nothing to have the
buffers delete.

I won't be usually be copying a few hundred messages at a time - I use
nnfolders to "expire" old messages to - so usually it won't be more
than I sent/received per day expiration time days ago - maybe ten or
so messages at max. So the speed does not bother me much.

Can you point me to the patch (or any key words that I should search
for)? I tried looking for something like that but didn't find
anything. Thx.
