This functionality was requested just before the last Larse's Gnus
programming frenzy.  He was nice enough to implement it, but he also
said that it was untested.  It's quite possible that you are the first
one to ever use it. ;^)

I keep all my mail on an IMAP server, and IIRC, this doesn't work for
nnimap yet.  The moment `expire by moving' will support nnimap, I'll
be *so* eager to test it.  I've been waiting for it for quite a
while... ;^)
