Oops, I'm sorry, that variable only governs when/whether Gnus issues an
EXPUNGE command when exiting a group, nothing directly to do with
expiry, I should have looked at that more closely. I don't use expiry so
all this is a bit confusing.
The fact that expiry happens only when you call
`gnus-summary-expire-articles-now' makes it look like the
nnmail-expiry-wait is not getting successfully set to 'immediate. If you
run this (use whatever group name you're expecting expiry to happen in):
(gnus-group-find-parameter "nnimap+Home:INBOX" 'expiry-wait)
What does it return?
