I use IMAP. Then, I have 'd' bound to
(defun gdt-gnus-move-to-trash ()
(interactive)
(gnus-summary-move-article nil gdt-trash-newsgroup))
and actually delete messages. the trash group has total-expire.
I use auto-expire on mailing list groups, but I don't read those with
other clients. This is based around making it usable to use the iphone
imap client with the same server as gnus.
If I wanted to deal with other groups, I'd think about making gnus
expire based on read marks instead of expirable.
