The manual says:
,----[ (info "(gnus)Expiring Mail") ]
| In general, a mail article will be
| deleted from your system if, 1) it is marked as expirable, AND 2) it is
| more than one week old. If you do not mark an article as expirable, it
| will remain on your system until hell freezes over. This bears

Most probably you turned on "auto-expire" or "total-expire"
unintendedly.
Bye, Reiner.
