Why are incoming mails saved twice?
Hi, I use nnml as mail backend, and I figured out that arriving mails are stored twice: In ~/Mail/mail/misc with numbers and in ~/Mail as Incoming*. When I clean up my inbox, those Incoming* mails still exist. Is there a way to get rid of them without destroying the structure of mail handling? Simply deleting all this mails is perhaps no good idea? Hermann ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Hermann meinelis...@onlinehome.de writes: Hi Hermann! I use nnml as mail backend, and I figured out that arriving mails are stored twice: In ~/Mail/mail/misc with numbers and in ~/Mail as Incoming*. The bleeding edge versions of gnus keep backup files of all mails. Those are the Incoming* files. When I clean up my inbox, those Incoming* mails still exist. Is there a way to get rid of them without destroying the structure of mail handling? 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. Bye, Tassilo ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Simply deleting all this mails is perhaps no good idea? Hermann I think you're referring to the incoming spool files. Those can automatically deleted by Gnus by setting the following. Mine deletes them after 1 day, you can set it to any value.
