Without confirmation?! (looking at > `mail-source-delete-old-incoming-confirm') No. By default development Gnus store a copy of all email imported from mail-sources in ~/Mail/Incoming* files, as an extra precaution should anything go wrong (with splitting or what have you). Those backup copies will by default be deleted after 10 days. I think in release versions usually the Incoming*-files are usually deleted immediately. > Sounds scary. I think it sounds like a belt-and-suspenders kind of approach. Best regards, Adam -- "So this is what being a morning person is like, I Adam Sjøgren thought.
