VMS Help MAIL Routines, MAIL$MAILFILE_PURGE_WASTE, Input Item Codes  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 MAIL$_MAILFILE_RECLAIM

    The Boolean item code MAIL$_MAILFILE_RECLAIM specifies that
    MAIL$MAILFILE_PURGE_WASTE purge the wastebasket folder and
    reclaim deleted space in the mail file.

    Specify the value 0 in the buffer length field of the item
    descriptor.

    MAIL$_MAILFILE_RECLAIM explicitly requests a reclaim operation
    and overrides the deleted byte's threshold regardless of the
    number of bytes deleted during a mail file purge operation.
