I have something like this in my .gnus

(defun noorul/move-to-gmail-trash ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((prefix (funcall gnus-move-group-prefix-function
                         gnus-newsgroup-name)))
    (let ((trash (concat prefix "[Gmail]/Trash")))
      (gnus-summary-move-article nil trash))))

(gnus-define-keys gnus-summary-mode-map 
    "\C-c\C-g" noorul/move-to-gmail-trash)

Also lots of gnus imap development is going on now. The latest dev build
fetches imap mail faster. But still B m is quiet slow. I hope new work
will give gnus a better future.

Thanks and Regards
