The IMAP EXPUNGE command does not take arguments, so you can't expunge
a subset of the artices which are marked deleted without doing:
1) undelete those which are too young to expunge
2) expunge
3) re-delete those in step one.
If you only use gnus to access the imap server you can let gnus mark
read articles as expirable (eg with gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups)
and it will mark deleted only those expirable articles older than
nnmail-expiry-wait days.
If you also have nnimap-expunge-on-close set to always EXPUNGE will
be called each time you exit the Summary buffer.
