And what I want to do is to synchronize the email that I sent so that all of the emails that I sent will appear on all those machines, _locally_, sooner or later. (I don't want to store all my sent-mail to my imap server, as the space is somehow limited). So I guess one way to do that is: 1. Set the Gcc so that every time I sent an email, a copy will be sent to imap:INBOX.sent-mail. 2. in .gnus file of each machine, set up nnimap split so that all the files in INBOX.sent-mail will be copied to a local folder. 3. expire all the emails in INBOX.sent-mail, no matter read or unread, after say 30 days. So it's very likely that during the period, all the machine will have a copy of all those sent-mails. If this is a correct way to go, then my question is: 1. How can I keep a copy in INBOX.sent-mail after it has been splitted? (Since I need to do that on different machines with the same set of emails). Also, as I have already used nnimap-split-inbox for my INBOX mails, I am not sure whether I can split to nnimap mail folder using different policies. 2. How to automatic expire all the emails no matter it's read or unread?
