I still don't understand why this function (or the related gnus-agent-expire-group) needs to run manually. I've been doing it for a few years now and have never been able to figure out why it's necessary. The problem appears for me when I've been reading mail at work all week and not at all at home, then start reading mail at home over the weekend. My mail folders viewed from home will be full of old messages marked as expirable long ago. Despite having both the variables gnus-agent-expire-days and nnmail-expiry-wait set to 4, I find old messages piling up in my IMAP folders for several weeks, Gnus having forgotten or ignored the expire (expirable?) mark. -- Steven E.
