I am expiring all my read mail and have Patrick> the expiry days set to one, what am I doing wrong? There are a number of things: First, messages must be explicitly marked for expiry (E, I think) to be expirable unless the total-expire parameter is set for the particular group (then, read messages are expirable, too). Secondly, no expirable message is deleted from disk unless you call the expire function (C-M-c from the *Group* buffer or something). hth, \kai{} -- Have you hugged your signature today?
