Peter, if your Oort is newer than 2003-03-03, you may want to set
`mail-source-delete-incoming' to a number, see the manual:
,----[ (Info-goto-node "(gnus)Mail Source Customization") ]
| `mail-source-delete-incoming'
| If non-`nil', delete incoming files after handling them. If `t',
| delete the files immediately, if `nil', never delete any files.
| If a positive number, delete files older than number of days (This
| will only happen, when reveiving new mail). You may also set
| `mail-source-delete-incoming' to `nil' and call
| `mail-source-delete-old-incoming' from a hook or interactively.
|
| `mail-source-delete-old-incoming-confirm'
| If `non-nil', ask for for confirmation before deleting old incoming
| files. This variable only applies when
| `mail-source-delete-incoming' is a positive number.
`----
Bye, Reiner.

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.
