For hunting down the problem, I have two questions: 1. Can I find out somehow if the list (e.g. nnml+private:mail.maxima) is correctly recognized as auto-expirable? 2. I observe that a mail which I mark with 'd' is marked by 'r' (but not automatically by 'E' as expired). When I visit the buffer later I see it marked with 'O'. Is this a sign of a bad setup? Thank you, Nicolas
