+
+When Gnus expires your mail (@pxref{Expiring Mail}), it starts with a
+list of expirable articles and asks the IMAP server questions like ``Of
+these articles, which ones are older than a week?'' While this seems
+like a perfectly reasonable question, some IMAP servers take a long time

+see if it is one of the expirable ones. Curiously, the question ``Of

+much faster to answer, so setting this variable causes Gnus to ask this
+question and figure out the answer to the real question itself.
