The Undelete Options

Syntax:

          Option Undelete_HouRs=number
          Option Undelete_DAYs=number
          Option Undelete_WeeKs=number

Description:

The Undelete options let you specify how long deleted messages are retained in your mailbox file. For example,

          Option Undelete_HouRs=48
          Option Undelete_DAYs=2

are equivalent and say that messages can be discarded from the Deleted drawer after 48 hours (two days). For all options, the number must be an integer; thus you get a whole number of hours, days, or weeks.

You can set the retention time to zero with any of

          Option Undelete_HouRs=0
          Option Undelete_DAYs=0
          Option Undelete_WeeKs=0

In this case, a message is just discarded when it is deleted. This means it cannot be undeleted with UnDELete.
