My MTA delivers all mail (with one exception for nndiary mails) to ~/Maildir, in maildir format. From there, gnus fetches it. So that would mean all the mail gnus has fetched from ~/Maildir stays in ~/Maildir for another 10 days before it=C2=B4s being deleted? And the temp files? Is all the mail actually quadrupled until the files in incoming (~/Maildir) and the temporary files are expired?
