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.
