I use gnus as my main mail reader, and also thunderbird, osx/Mail.app, and iphone/Mail. While my mailinglist mail is like news, I consider my INBOX to be not like news, and basically only want to explicitly delete things. So, I have all the non-gnus MUAs set up to delete by moving to nnimap+[foo]:Trash (vs "Deleted Messages" with whitespace), and then Then I bind 'd' to (defun gdt-gnus-move-to-trash () (interactive) (gnus-summary-move-article nil gdt-trash-newsgroup)) and delete messages when I'm done with them. This works for me because I filter (before delivery, not with gnus) messages that aren't more or less to me personally to one of about 100 other IMAP folders. Most of those I both set auto-expire=3Dt and read only with gnus - basically they contain (by construction) data that does not require timely processing. This whole scheme is built around the notion that I want reading the INBOX on my phone to be useful, which for me means that all mailinglist mail (and anything that gets even 1 point with spamassassin) does not go to INBOX. I suppose you could write something that finds messages marked read but not expirable in groups that are marked auto-expire. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (NetBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk6Jo6YACgkQH9p66AmO1g72yACghtLhAVMk29QDjPVvxvW/cfJI ruoAn0ge8+PAMHuoqNCSW8C6ZVz6oU/y =suE/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
