You probably want to tick the articles then (it's the 'This Is Important' flag). They won't go away or get expired.

Depends on the backend, actually. IMAP, for instance, can tell us this, but backends like nnmaildir need to scan the whole message to find the information (imagine thousands of messages getting scanned, it's painful).

Use w3m as your browser in the console.
