I have modified the 3.0 Mail Janitor to process INBOX documents as well
as READ and OUTBOX - but it doesn't seem to work. It won't move the
qualifying documents to the Wastebasket (using CAB DELETE_OR_REFILE).
At first I thought that perhaps a GET_PENDING was necessary to actually
create File Cab entries before attempting to move them, so I put that in
but it makes no difference. It also doesn't matter whether the account
has the delete-new-mail flag turned on or off - another suspected
culprit.
For a given INBOX document I'm trying to delete, if I select it and use
either <CAB DELETE_OR_REFILE or <CAB DELETE_DOCUMENT I get,
You cannot delete that document.
Yet using the D option from the menu works fine, and I don't see in the
named data that it does much more than the functions I tried.
WHy is this happening, and any ideas for a workaround?
Thanks much,
Bob Spangler

Hi,
To delete INBOX documents it's best to use the MAIL DELETE function,
whereas the MJU uses the CABINET function. For this to work in another
user's drawer it will be necessary to have first done a MAIL SET_USER
function.
It should also be possible to instead use CABINET RESET_DELETE to
allow the message to be deleted. You may also need to change the MODIFY
flag with WRITE CHANGE CAB$, and then use CABINET DELETE_OR_REFILE.
Of the two approaches I would prefer the first, since it will fix the
user's unread mail count.
Cheers
Stuart
