(info "(gnus)Mail Source Customization")
,----
| `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 (This
| 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.

(info "(gnus)Gnus Development")
,----
| Some variable defaults differ between alpha Gnusae and released
| Gnusae. In particular, `mail-source-delete-incoming' defaults to `nil'
| in alpha Gnusae and `t' in released Gnusae. This is to prevent lossage
| of mail if an alpha release hiccups while handling the mail.
`----
So, you can set it to t at your own risk.
