If you want to delete it immediately, change the value to t. ;;if retrieving from spool, delete temp file after 1 days (setq mail-source-delete-incoming 1) (setq mail-source-delete-old-incoming-confirm nil) 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::.
