As long as you or your mail client do not end the session and asks the POP
server to write the changes, the mail can be undeleted by exiting the
session without noting any of the changes that were made.  Refer to the
POP3 RFC for more info.  I don't recall the exact command to issue to the
POP server to disconnect ignoring all changes that were made.
