| Hi,

| I'm slowly configuring Gnus to my taste (by the way, great software!!!),

| files in my Mail directory. My setting involves calling fetchmail to get
| mail from my IMAP server and drop it into my localhost spool
| directory. Then Gnus takes that and populates the Mail directory with
| all the mail (nnml back-end, in case it is relevant). All fine, but
| loads of Incomingxxxx files are created in Mail directory (apparently
| every time that I check the IMAP server and get new mail: more or less
| every 15 minutes), which are apparentely not deleted. Is this normal?
| Will they go away? Do I have to delete them?

| Thanks,

They only persist for 24 hours

Otherwise set up an hourly cronjob to zap them:

rm /home/<yourlogin>/Mail/Incoming*

But why bother?
