Hi,
somehow I started gettings these files to my Mail directory,
and I noticed only after I was wondering why I can't see any
new mail... What are these and which causes them: I seems to
have some misconfiguration somewhere.

Development versions of Gnus set nnmail-delete-incoming to nil in
order to preserve these files for the emergency case when Gnus munges
mail. Go ahead and set it to t if you're brave... but don't blame
Lars if you lose mail, you have been warned!
(I set it to nil then delete old incoming files with dired every once
in a while.)
You can also stop using development versions and stick with the stable
ones if you don't have enough disk space and/or don't want to fool
around with your mail.

Maybe that's the theory, but that's not the practice. Q0.11 nnmail.el:
(defcustom nnmail-delete-incoming t
"*If non-nil, the mail backends will delete incoming files after
splitting."
:group 'nnmail-retrieve
:type 'boolean)

This is probably because Lars wasn't fiddling with nnmail for
Quassia. Or he simply forgot to change the default. Lars, which one
is it?

Check the value of `nnmail-delete-incoming'.

You are configured correctly for a beta tester. The Incoming* files are
the temporary copies of your spool. You can set `nnmail-delete-incoming',
but I wouldn't advise it.

Thank you. That explains it all. I have this Qg0.11 in my other account
which has unlimited disk space, so I can leave it on. Having used Gnus
for 2 weeks or so now makes my head spin....
