On the > other hand: why can GNUS not clean it up? Well, Gnus was initially a newsreader, and there articles don't disappear magically. So my suggestion for good performance with mails: Install a local IMAP server (e.g. Dovecot) that you access with Gnus, and synch that with your remote accounts using OfflineIMAP. I do that for years, and it works just perfectly.
