It seems that 'every so often' I loose my expiry marks in my nnimap
groups.  I don't know why this would happen and I can't seem to
reproduce it easily either.

I expire by hand in about half my groups, and they're auto-expired
using the demon:

  (defun gnus-demon-get-new-news ()
    (save-excursion
      (gnus-group-get-new-news)
      (gnus-group-list-groups 5)))

  (defun gnus-demon-expire-all-groups ()
    (save-excursion
      (gnus-group-get-new-news)      ; find new stuff first so it keeps % marks
      (gnus-group-list-groups)
      (gnus-group-expire-all-groups)
      (gnus-group-get-new-news)
      (gnus-group-list-groups)
      ))

  (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-expire-all-groups 120 120)

But occasionally, I'll re-enter a group to see messages marked with
'O' that I'm *positive* I expired at some point.

Am I the only one seeing this?  sigh...
