I have now decided to mark add to my group params, for mailing list
groups, total-expiry. After doing this, and then entering/leaving the
group I expected the expiry process to run. Do I need to mark all the
'O'ld mail as 'R'ead instead. I though 'O' was a 'kind of' read
mark. I have tried doing gnus-summary-expire-articles-now but I
expect that this would only work for messages actually marked as
'E'xpirable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shaun

Only if you haven't (remove-hook 'gnus-summary-prepare-exit-hook
'gnus-summary-expire-articles).

No I haven't removed the hook. Strange...

I don't know what all the conventions are but 'O'ld mail does not get
expired on my total-expiry groups either. I notice this when I enter
groups with 'C-u g' and discover a bunch of 'O'ld messages that haven't
been expired.
Messages that are 'R'ead or 'E'xpirable will vanish at the appropriate time
in total-expire groups. The manual isn't written completely clear on this
matter.
I also forgot that adaptive scoring and auto-expire conflict with each
other. If one wants to use adapting, one should either use total-expire
(which doesn't change article marks) or nothing. The problem is (and this
isn't in the manual) that auto-expire changes the marks _before_ adaptive
scoring peruses the articles to see what is interesting and what is not.

And they stay that way forever??

Hmm, all `R'ead mail is marked `O'ld if I exit/reenter the group.
I think they are expired all right, since the article count does not
grow without bounds.

But there is a paragraph to the effect that you should not mix
auto-expire and adaptive scoring in the "Expiring Mail" node.
