I feel very reluctant to expire messages in my private mail
group. However, they accumulate very fast, and since I'm using IMAP as
a backend for that group, the group eventually gets a bit slow.

So I thought that it would be nice if gnus had a feature to expire
messages not by /deleting/ them, but by /moving/ them to some
arbitrary group. This way it would be possible to have the name of
such group assigned sensibly (like for expample I am dynamically
assigning group names to `gnus-message-archive-group').

Is configuring such behavior possible currently?

Thanks!
