I think it's probably edebug time. Try instrumenting the my-expire-gmail-imap-message function, and maybe, for good measure, gnus-group-expire-articles-1 as well. Expire some articles, and step through the functions, and just see what's going on. My guess is it will become clear pretty quickly what's going wrong. I hope! _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
