Quasi-Delete Feature

Mark emails that should be hidden, but not deleted

1. Support

Since: NeoMutt 2016-03-07

Dependencies: None

2. Introduction

The quasi-delete function marks an email that should be hidden from the index, but NOT deleted. The email will disappear from the index when <sync-mailbox>is called.

On its own, this feature isn't very useful. It forms a useful part of the notmuch plugin.
