Hmm.. ok, so outside of the server definition, just in the main .gnus.el fail (not in the scope of anything else), I've tried putting: (setq nnmail-expiry-target 'my-expire-gmail-imap-message) (defun my-expire-gmail-imap-message (group) "In gmail-based imap groups, expiry should happen by moving the message to the corresponding [Gmail]/Bin folder." (if (string-match "nnimap\\+\\(homemail\\|workmail\\|funmail\\):" group) (format "nnimap+%s:[Gmail]\Bin" (match-string 1 group)) 'delete)) [So in my Gnus groups, I see things like: 3:nnimap+homemail:INBOX 7:nnimap+homemail:Madness 9:nnimap+workmail:INBOX etc. And my Gmail boxes are [Gmail]/Bin rather than [Gmail]/Trash] The resulting behaviour, when I open up the Gmail webclient, that the deleted message indeed disappears from the Inbox, but does not appear in the [Gmail]/Bin directory. (I.e., as far as I can, it must just be matching the 'delete rule). I've also tried setting (setq nnmail-expiry-wait 'immediate), but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Finally, I also tried changing the regex to: nnimap\\+\\(homemail\\|workmail\\|funmail\\):.* but that also doesn't work. Any ideas where something could be going wrong? _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
