Setting `nnmail-expiry-wait' to 'immediate and marking the mails with
`E' should do this.  Read (info "(gnus)Expiring Mail") for details.

,----[ (info "(gnus)Expiring Mail") ]
|    The `nnmail-expiry-wait' variable and `nnmail-expiry-wait-function'
| function can either be a number (not necessarily an integer) or one of
| the symbols `immediate' or `never'.

| `C-c C-M-x'
|      Run all expirable articles in all groups through the expiry process

`----

... together with `nnmail-expiry-wait' set to 1 day or so is
_approximately_ the same.
