Re: Expiry problems...

Hi,

IMHO the problem is that the daemon is expiring your articles but not 
expunging them. I think the following situation is happening:
1. You read the article and it gets marked as read ('O')
1.a) you mark some as expirable ('E')
2. After a while the daemon is expiring the articles and they get 
marked as deleted (on the server).  However, the daemon is not 
expunging the articles and they are still on the server marked as 
deleted.  Gnus and imap are not obeying the deleted mark and only 
showing the read mark ('O'). The expirable mark ('E') has been 
deleted.

Please verify this with a client that does expunge-on-close (netscape 
or nnimap without daemon).  The following should happen:  The first 
time you visit the group, the articles are still there. Close the 
group and visit it again, now the articles should have been deleted.
