This must have changed. Until the latest version, nnimap is not
showing the \Deleted flag, but the article with the rest of the
flags.  Let me retry:

2. After a while the daemon is expiring (in Gnus sense) the articles
   and they get marked as \Deleted (on the server).  Normally, nnimap
   is expunging-on-close: The imap-server is really delting the
   \Deleted articles of the group which you leave.  However, the
   daemon is not expunging the articles and they are still on the
   server marked as \Deleted.  Now, if you reenter the group, Gnus and
   nnimap are not obeying the \Deleted mark and only showing the \Seen
   mark ('O'). The expirable mark ('E', gnus-deleted) has been
   deleted, as the daemon has deleted but not expunged the article.

Is this more clear?

Jens
