expiring emails

[prad]

time to clean up the 90000+ emails i've accumulated.

i really don't want to go and mark each email as expired. 

is there a way i can mark a thread as expired?

A quick look in the "Thread" menu reveals:

,----[ C-h k T E ]
| <menu-bar> <Threads> <Mark thread as expired> runs the command
| gnus-summary-expire-thread, which is an interactive compiled Lisp
| function in `gnus-sum.el'.
| 
| It is bound to T E, <menu-bar> <Threads> <Mark thread as expired>.
| 
| (gnus-summary-expire-thread)
| 
| Mark articles under current thread as expired.
`----

Maybe that would do the trick?

thx adam!
sorry! i should have looked there first.
i have a bad habit of looking on the web instead of my own menu and
getting tons of stuff to sift through to find what i want.
i will alter my evil ways.

I often forget that the menus exist as well; no worries!

thx!

now i have another issue.

i've expired close to 5000 emails and then did 
B 
C-M-e

to get rid of them (at least i that's what i understand i'm doing).

however, when i 
C-u RET

i still get 91301 showing up as the number of default emails.

that number stays the same even if i restart gnus (or restart dovecot).

i think the emails are gone though because they don't show up when i
type in the number i want to view. however, how do i get the default
number to show correctly?
