tags 344946 unreproducible
severity 344946  important
thanks

Hi,

        Well, I am not sure what happened here: I am attaching the
 mail function that is used to get mail from imap folders.

 Note: The removing of stuff asked in mail-source-delete-incoming
 happens in `mail-source-callback' -- after the mail has been saved in
 a file named after the server, i.e. no old incoming files will be
 deleted, unless you receive new mail.

        Once the mail has bee4n saved, Incoming files are deleted, and
 then the crash box is deleted.

        The code looks fine to me. I am reducing the severity since
 when the OOM reaps, all kinds of strange things happen.

        It would help if you called gnus-bug to report this upstream
 as well, and CC <email address hidden>.

        thanks,

        manoj
