Erm...  Do you use total-expire?  Well, don't use total-expire if you
don't want its side effects.  Normally, nnimap uses a special
expirable mark which isn't used by any other IMAP client, and uses the
deleted flag only for actually deleting expirable articles.

Total-expire means that Gnus considers all messages marked as read to
be expirable (that is, marked for deletion after 7 days).
