I think this is the variable to change:

,----[ C-h v mail-source-directory RET ]
| mail-source-directory is a variable defined in ‘mail-source.el’.
| Its value is "/home/asjo/Mail/incoming"
| Original value was "~/Mail/"
| 
|   You can customize this variable.
| 
| Documentation:
| Directory where incoming mail source files (if any) will be stored.
`----

You might also consider looking at this one:

,----[ C-h v mail-source-delete-incoming RET ]
| mail-source-delete-incoming is a variable defined in ‘mail-source.el’.
| Its value is 10
| 
|   You can customize this variable.
| 
| 
| This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
| version 22.2 of Emacs.
| 
| Documentation:
| If non-nil, delete incoming files after handling.
| If t, delete immediately, if nil, never delete.  If a positive number, delete
| files older than number of days.
| 
| Removing of old files happens in ‘mail-source-callback’, i.e. no
| old incoming files will be deleted unless you receive new mail.
| You may also set this variable to nil and call
| ‘mail-source-delete-old-incoming’ interactively.

  Best regards,
