This is because you use Oort Gnus. It is default behavior for Oort
Gnus (which is under heavy development) to have
mail-source-delete-incoming set to nil. You can either set it to some
number (number of days before incoming mails are deleted) or to t (as
is default in officially released Gnusae), which will delete all
incoming mails.
