MAIL Routines, MAIL$MESSAGE_DELETE, Description
 *Conan The Librarian 

    When you delete a message from a selected folder, it is moved
    to the wastebasket folder. You cannot delete a message from the
    wastebasket folder. You must use the MAIL$MAILFILE_PURGE_WASTE
    routine to empty the wastebasket folder.
