nnimap and expiry?

nnimap and expiry?

[George McNinch]

I have set

  (setq nnmail-expiry-wait 'immediate)
  (setq nnmail-expiry-target 'nnmail-fancy-expiry-target)

and nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets contains a long-ish list of
targets based on to-from headers.

        [here is an edited, shorter version of that list:

        ((to-from "ArlingtonSchool" "nnimap+gmail:HardySchool")
         (to-from ".*arlington.k12" "nnimap+gmail:HardySchool")
         ...
         ("to" ".*tufts\\.edu.*" "nnimap+imap-tufts:Trash")
         ("from" ".*" "nnimap+gmail:[Gmail]/Trash"))

        ]

Using a recent nnimap, expiry did nothing to the articles marked `E'
upon quitting the summary buffer for an nnimap group (though I did see
minibuffer indication that expiry was being performed) -- those articles
remained in the group (still marked `E' of course) upon revisiting the
group.

Restarting using an older nnimap, and not changing gnus.el configs at
all, the articles marked with E *were* expired to their various
destinations upon quitting the nnimap summary buffer.

So the behavior seems to have changed.

Ah. And I read in another thread that 'expiry isn't implemented
yet'. Sorry!

Should be implemented now, but only lightly tested.  Especially the
expiry-target stuff.
