Using nnmail? Try putting this in your .gnus:
(setq nnmail-delete-incoming t)

Yes. The purpose of that setting, and its default to 't, is that you
are using an _alpha_ release of Gnus. Keeping the Incoming* files
gives one a bit of safety in case a rogue Gnus release eats mail.

Exactly. Which is why I don't let Gnus delete incoming mail and do so
by cron job every two days or so instead. :-)

hi,
i got worried a little bit about my Mail/ directory:
drwxr-xr-x 18 phoner users 168960 Oct 28 01:52 Mail/
huge, isn't it? that's the reason:
phoner@ogryzek~/Mail/ ls Incoming* |wc -l
6920
what are those files? it seems it's all my mail since i started
using pgnus. can i simply delete them? all the incoming should be
simply split into few groups (and it is in fact).
please plase tell me, it's growing ;)
