[Kmail 1.9.5 here]

I was afraid as well... Because Expiry "looks" like a global setting rather 
than a Folder Property. But, Praise the Mighty Devs, it's not & you can, as 
Anne said, assign individual expiries

Tested, tried, works. Learning everyday.

What"s this noise for then ? Well, for the "frightening" aspect: Move Expiry 
to RMB-Properties, including 'never expire if' where I'd add 'contains 
attachment' alongside 'marked as important'.

Some days ago there was this raging debate over Lean-&-Clean vs 
I-Want-this-Feature; as a basic end-user, I tend to like Lean-&-Clean with 
_all_  specific, individual parameters accessible via RMB & the Top Menus to 
only address Global Settings. It may be too simplistic a way to draw the line 
though, but prevents duplicates.
