Description

When you exit PMDF MAIL with the EXIT command while your default mail file is open, your wastbasket folder will be purged. You can prevent this from occurring by instead using the QUIT command, or by issuing a SET NOAUTO_PURGE command. The benefit to using the SET NOAUTO_PURGE command is that you only need to use that command once --- the setting will be remembered.

EMAIL> SET NOAUTO_PURGE EMAIL> SHOW AUTO_PURGE Automatic deleted message purge is disabled.

Use the SET AUTO_PURGE command to restore the default behavior.
