Deleting and recovering mail

You can delete a mail message you have just read by typing d and pressing <Enter>. If you want to delete the message you have just read and then read the next message, type dp and press <Enter>. (This deletes this message and prints the next one to the screen.) Delete any message by typing d, the number of the message you want to delete, and then pressing <Enter>.

Recover the messages you deleted in the current mail session by typing u (undelete) and pressing <Enter>. The deleted messages reappear in your message list. If you want to undelete a particular message, type u and the message number of the message you want to undelete. You can only undelete messages you have deleted during the current mail session. Once you quit mail, the messages you have deleted are gone forever.
