If ever you want to try a new Gnus but are frightened about losing
mail, just `(setq mail-source-delete-incoming nil)' and Gnus will keep
a copy of all incoming mail.
This should be the default in any unreleased Gnus. Or do you change
this in the XEmacs packages? Ah, I see: »upstream version: 5.10.6«,
there it should be nil.
It won't ever delete that copy, it'll stick around until
hell
freezes over.
Or set it to a number...
,----[ (info "(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 receiving new mail). You may also set
| `mail-source-delete-incoming' to `nil' and call
| `mail-source-delete-old-incoming' from a hook or interactively.
