Subject: deleting instead of expiring mail
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:17:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <yovaoaogdafx.fsf@sampling.wsl.ch> (raw)
Help, I am suddenly loosing old mails - they are deleted instead of
expired (for some 3 weeks now). I am on Gnus v5.13.
I am not aware of any changes in my configuration. Possibly, I may have
experimented with a nnvirtual group (nnvirtual "^nnfolder\\+mail.*$")
The log in the *Message* buffer seems a bit suspicious (just a snippet
for one of the groups with C-c C-M-x gnus-group-expire-all-groups) -
where comes the "Deleting articles..." from? Is this correct?
Expiring articles in nnfolder+mail:noreply@ecoapwebsite.eu...
Deleting articles...done
Expiring articles in nnfolder+mail:noreply@ecoapwebsite.eu...done
My relevant entries since always are:
(setq-default nnmail-expiry-wait-function
(lambda (group)
(cond ((string= group "spam.mail") 5)
((string= group "root@sampling") 5)
(t 30)))
gnus-total-expirable-newsgroups "nnfolder\\+mail:.*"
gnus-mark-copied-or-moved-articles-as-expirable t
nnmail-expiry-target 'nnmail-fancy-expiry-target
nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets
'(("xref" "spam\\.mail:[01-9]" "nnml+expired:spam.%Y")
(to-from "root@sampling" "nnml+expired:sampling-root-%Y")
(to-from "et\\.com" "nnml+expired:et-%Y")
(to-from "ws\\.com" "nnml+expired:ws-%Y")
(to-from ".*" "nnml+expired:other-%Y"))))
(setq-default gnus-select-method '(nnnil "")
gnus-secondary-select-methods
`((nntp "news.gmane.org")
(nnfolder "mail"
[...]
(nnfolder-get-new-mail t)
(nnfolder-inhibit-expiry nil))
(nnml "expired"
[...]
(nnml-get-new-mail nil)
(nnml-inhibit-expiry t))
And, expiry of spam and sampling-root continuous to work as expected,
but the (important!) mails in the other groups in nnfolder+mail:* get
lost!
