My MTA delivers all mail (with one exception for nndiary > mails) to ~/Maildir, in maildir format. From there, gnus fetches it. Maybe it would make more sense to use the nnmaildir back end? I.e. no entry in `mail-source´ and an nnmaildir method in `gnus-select-method´ (or `gnus-secondary-select-methods'). See (info "(gnus)Maildir"). > So that would mean all the mail gnus has fetched from ~/Maildir stays > in ~/Maildir for another 10 days before it´s being deleted? The files corresponding to `mail-source-delete-incoming´ are stored in `mail-source-directory´ and are called "Incoming*" > And the temp files? Is all the mail actually quadrupled until the files > in incoming (~/Maildir) and the temporary files are expired? Not sure what you are counting. The usual chain is: $MAIL (/var/mail/USER) -> Incoming* -> ~/Mail/some.group/123 Incoming* is the only place where a redundant copy of a message lives.
