See ,----[ (info "(gnus)Mail Source Customization") ] | `mail-source-delete-incoming' | If non-`nil', delete incoming files after handling them. If `t', | delete the files immediately, if `nil', never delete any files. | If a positive number, delete files older than number of days (the | deletion will only happen when receiving new mail). You may also | set `mail-source-delete-incoming' to `nil' and call | `mail-source-delete-old-incoming' from a hook or interactively. | `mail-source-delete-incoming' defaults to `10' in alpha Gnusae and | `2' in released Gnusae. *Note Gnus Development::. `---- and ,----[ (info "(gnus)Gnus Development") ] | Some variable defaults differ between alpha Gnusae and released | Gnusae, in particular, `mail-source-delete-incoming'. This is to | prevent lossage of mail if an alpha release hiccups while handling the | mail. *Note Mail Source Customization::. `---- > Simply deleting all this mails is perhaps no good idea? No problem, you can delete them without worrying.
