Hi,
although setting (setq nnmail-delete-incoming t) in my startup file, my Mail
dir is still clobbered with Incoming files. Is there any way to no create them
(I trust pgnus ;-))?
cu
Stefan.

That should be `mail-source-delete-incoming'.

It also would be nice, in my opinion, if there was a way to specify an
alternate directory for the incoming files, other than the mail
directory. I didn't see anything in the code to handle this. Perhaps
we need a `mail-source-incoming-directory' variable?

But that would put the incoming files in the top-level directory of
the mail source directory tree, which contains lots of other stuff.
I'd like to send those files to a completely different location. I
used to be able to do this prior to the `mail-source-*' changes.

No, the only this that's in this directory (currently) are the
Incoming* files.

Changed for new mail-source hackery.
