Hello everyone,
According to the manual[1][2], `nnmaildir' uses its own group parameters
to handle expiration.
Excepting `nnmail-expiry-wait(-function)' variables, to handle
expiration per group, the user needs to set values for `expire-age' and
`expire-group' parameters. Ok, so considering the snippet below:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(customize-set-variable 'gnus-parameters
'("nnmaildir:inbox"
(expire-age . 0) ; <-- Here
(expire-group . "nnmaildir:trash"))) ; <-- Here
(customize-set-variable 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nntp "news.gwene.org")
(nnmaildir ""
(directory "~/Mail/")
(target-prefix "")
(get-new-mail t))))
(customize-set-variable 'gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
(customize-set-variable 'gnus-total-expirable-newsgroups
(regexp-opt '("nnmaildir:trash")))
#+end_src
Unfortunately, the expired mail in `nnmaildir:inbox' does not move to
the `nnmaildir:trash' group, its stays, marked as expirable, in the
original one.
If I drop the `(expire-age . 0)' in favor of something like
`(expiry-wait . immediate)', which according to the manual will be
respected by `nnmaildir', instead of moving the mail to the configured
expiry group, it will delete it.
I tested defining an expiry group from another back end (thus from
another server); from another `nnmaildir' server; and tweaked
`expire-age'. All this through, alternatively, the `gnus-parameters'
variable and from `gnus-group-edit-group-parameters' interface, but
without success.
So, what am I doing wrong? Did I miss something?
Can anyone help me with this configuration? I'll happily share any
further details about my actual settings, if needed.
Thanks in advance.
