I find myself wondering if *any* other mail clients support the expiry feature offered by Gnus, whereby you can mark a mail for *later* automatic deletion (after a per-group-configurable time), and force immediate deletion of all expired mail if you need to. This is really, really, killingly useful: it's like having a multi-day-long perfectly reliable email undeletion facility. I find it astonishing that nothing else I've tried has done it (not that I've tried anything else with much hope that it'll be able to exceed what Gnus can do).

For example a rule with the condition 'age_greater_than 30' and the action 'delete' will delete any message older than 30 days. Rules are run on startup and when the folder is opened. You can also specify multiple conditions to match so you can exempt, say, unread messages, or mail from people in your address book from deletion.
