Hi Al,

see variable `mail-source-delete-incoming'.

,----
| *If non-nil, delete incoming files after handling. If t, delete
| immediately, if nil, never delete. If a positive number, delete files
| older than number of days.
`----

e.g. set in .gnus.el:

,----
| ;; delete incoming files after two weeks
| (setq mail-source-delete-incoming 14)
`----

Best wishes,
  Christoph
