expiration broken???

[Andreas Kaempf <andreas@sccon.com>]

hi all...

i have been trying for quit a while to get the expiration process
working on my mail articles without avail and am wondering is it me or
is something broken...

what i want to do is expire articles that come in immediately and not
have them written to disk...  or if that is not possibel have them
expire at some time...

i have read the manual and have the following in my .gnus but it does
expire the articles in the summary buffer by putting an "E" next to it
but it does not get rid of them from the disk...

.gnus info:

;; GNUS definitions

(setq nnmail-delete-incoming t)
(setq nnmail-split-methods
	     '(("xemacs"  "^\\(To\\|Cc\\):.*xemacs*")
	       ("ntemacs"      "^\\(From\\|To\\|^CC\\):.*ntemacs-users")
	       ("fvwm"         "^\\(To\\|Cc\\):.*fvwm")
	       ("tvro"         "^\\(To\\|Cc\\):.*TVROSAT@")
	       ("TM"           "^\\(To\\|Cc\\):.*tm-en")
	       ("ding_gnus"    "^\\(To\\|Cc\\):.*ding@")
	       ("ding_bug"     "^\\(From\\|To\\|Cc\\):.*gnus-bug@")
	       ("susan"        "^From:.*sclark")
	       ("denise"        "^From:.*denise")		
	       ("andreas"      "^From:.*andreas")
	       ("lisa"         "^From:.*lkaempf")
	       ("Misc"         "")))

;; this does not work or even expire articles in the summary buffer
(setq gnus-total-expirable-newsgroups t)

;; then i tried this and it does not work
(setq gnus-total-expirable-newsgroups "TM\\|Misc\\|andreas")

;; this works in summary buffer by making everything expired
(setq gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups "xemacs\\|ntemacs\\|fvwm\\|tvro\\|TM\\|ding_gnus\\|ding_bug\\|andreas\\|Misc")

;; this does not seem to work as articles are still being out in mail
;;directories 
(setq nnmail-expiry-wait-function
	(lambda (group)
	  (cond ((string= group "TM\\|Misc\\|andreas")
	          'immediate)
                (t
                 6))))

i also ran "C-c M-C-x" as suggested but i still leaves articles in dir
 
i am sure it is something i am doing....

any help would be appreciated...
