I tried inserting your code into my .gnus file (after deleting my own
code from the .gnus file) and it didn't work.  Nothing was inserted
into the trash group; the expired messages just disappeared.  I think
what is happening is that gnus-group-nnimap-expunge is getting called
and deleting all expired messages.  Note I don't ever call
gnus-group-nnimap-expunge, but I'm guessing it is built into GNUS.

I'm using GNUS version 5.8.8 (which seems like the latest stable
version available from http://www.gnus.org/dist/gnus.tar.gz).  Should
I be using ognus-0.18.tar.gz?  Is it stable?  Packages with version
numbers much less than 1.0 usually aren't particularly stable...

Thanks,
