Incomingxxxxx files in Mail directory
Hi, I'm slowly configuring Gnus to my taste (by the way, great software!!!), but I still have some issues. One of them is regarding Incoming files in my Mail directory. My setting involves calling fetchmail to get mail from my IMAP server and drop it into my localhost spool directory. Then Gnus takes that and populates the Mail directory with all the mail (nnml back-end, in case it is relevant). All fine, but loads of Incoming files are created in Mail directory (apparently every time that I check the IMAP server and get new mail: more or less every 15 minutes), which are apparentely not deleted. Is this normal? Will they go away? Do I have to delete them?

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::. See the section on Mail Source Customization in the Gnus manual. sivaram -- ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
