| 444.1 | MAIL saves them, if you tell it to... | CHAMBR::GUINEAU | | Tue Apr 14 1987 14:47 | 21 |
|
MAIL saves deleted mail messages in a folder called WASTEBASKET.
All deleted messages are in this folder until you issue a purge
command or, if you have auto-purge enabled (the default, I think),
when you exit mail.
if auto purge is NOT enabled or you have just deleted a message and have
NOT yet exited mail, type
MAIL> SELECT WASTEBASKET
MAIL> DIR

| Mail folder names cannot contain the space character. If you look
at the help for the command FILE within mail, you will notice that
it takes two arguments. The first is a folder name, the second
is a file name. If you entered 'FILE JOB PLAN', your message got
filed into folder JOB in mail file PLAN.
To locate this message, type 'SET FILE PLAN', then 'DIR JOB'. Your
'lost' message should be there.

Thank you very much for your help. What you thought was right.
I found the mail messages that I had lost.
Thank you for your help...

| 444.6 | search [yourself...]*.* "plate of shrimp" | VIDEO::OSMAN | type video::user$7:[osman]eric.six | Wed Apr 15 1987 11:28 | 20 |
| I would suggest you think of some phrase you know was in the lost message.
For instance, suppose you know that
plate of shrimp
was in there somewhere. Do this:
$ search [yourself...]*.* "plate of shrimp"
This will find any mail databases or temp files or other copies of
the message. It will even find it if perhaps MAIL has purged the
message and not "reclaimed" the space.
If SEARCH lists a file, edit the file and extract the message.
*Don't* attempt to use MAIL to extract it, since it might reclaim
the space.
Good luck !

| 444.7 | yes, spaces are fine in folder names. | VIDEO::OSMAN | type video::user$7:[osman]eric.six | Thu Apr 16 1987 15:30 | 7 |
| By the way, you CAN have spaces in a folder name:
MAIL> file "hi there"
It's the quotes that allow it to work.
