With nnml for my backend, I used to always have use
gnus-total-expirable-newsgroups with various settings of expiry-wait
to automatically expire my email lists. With nnimap, I was trying to
do the equivalent with total-expire and expiry-wait set via group
parameters. It was not behaving as I was expecting; namely, all
groups with total-expire set were having all their articles expire in
7 days. Groups without the setting were doing nothing (as expected).
This is Gnus 5.9.
I've removed the total-expire setting and only left the expiry-wait,
but I'm not clear from the documentation if this is going to do what I
want, namely subject every article to expiration (read or not) after
the specified number of days.
What is the correct way to do this with nnimap?

I thought I had copied some of my setting from the old nnml config I
had where they worked, but as that has been a few months now, I can't
remember for sure. Most of my nnml setup was from .gnu.el rather than
group parameters a la `G p'.
So, I've changed these to use cons'es instead of the above syntax.
I'll give it a few days to see if they are starting to accumulate more
articles. If that doesn't work, I'll file a bug report, otherwise
I'll attribute it to pilot error (me).
Thanks,
roland
