Subject: Gnus IMAP Qs: catch-up vs delete vs expire & "gnus-expire" tag ?
Date: Sat, 14 Dec 2024 00:43:49 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAD8J8ntgf3kQh+CgAfWG4NOosyw40OpC+sfj9+p3fKK=OnUHdQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I have a number of questions...
I've been trying to set up my mailing list environment using Gnus with
IMAP/SMTP via zohomail.com. I can read gnu.org mailing lists via IMAP fine.
1. SMTP thru zohomail.com to gnu.org gets bounced as "Undeliverable" due to
a "550 - bad domain" error. Zoho support says the email looks fine. I've
been trying to get an answer from sysadmin@fsf.org (email sent from my
gmail account) for several days, but no reply. Anyone seen anything like
this?
2. Due to limited space in a free account on zohomail.com, I want to clean
up old mail on both my system and the server. I assumed the way to do
that was (mostly) by "catchup", but that just marks all the mails in the
summary buffer as read. How do you delete old email?
3. I thought 'expire' was the way to delete, but the manual implies that
expired email can be deleted by Gnus at some future time. How is that
controlled?
4. I found that the expired email wound up being tagged with "gnus-expire"
on the IMAP server. Is there an assumption that the IMAP server will
delete emails tagged with "gnus-expire"? If so, how does that work?
5. Is this documented in the Gnus manual? At least the assumptions of how
the IMAP server should work around "deleting emails".
