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") ]

| `C-c C-M-x'
|      Run all expirable articles in all groups through the expiry process
|      (`gnus-group-expire-all-groups').
`----

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