No, if all works properly, you should never see files in the Temp 
Incoming folder at all. Emailer sticks files there while it is 
downloading them from the internet. As soon as it is done downloading, it 
moves the files from that folder, into your mail database and then 
deletes them from the folder.

So in theory, you should never see files in that folder at all. If you 
do, it is a sign that something didn't work as it should.

Of course, now that you have opened that folder, you might as well do the 
.DS_Store clean routine (make sure the folder is empty, then throw it 
out, then close all windows before starting Emailer again).

If you mess with that folder in any way when running OS X, you risk that 
OS X will create the .DS_Store file that will cause Emailer to not 
properly handle the files it puts in that folder.

Fortunatly, the fix is always to simply throw out the folder and let 
Emailer make a new one, and you can do the fix regardless of if you are 
actually suffering from the problem... ie: if you needed to do it, you 
fix the problem, if you didn't need to do it, then all you did was waste 
a few seconds of your time, no harm done.
