Same here. Even though my agent-related expiration duration is /lower/
than my normal mail expiration duration, the agent entries still stick
around until I manually run `gnus-agent-expire-group'. I still don't
understand why agent expiration doesn't happen automatically, or, if it
does, why it refuses to clean up old entries long since deleted from the
backing IMAP server.
