Absolutely. If you have the QWK settings on your account to "delete after
pack", then yes, the email would be deleted after it was pre-packed.

Only for a period of time. Messages marked for deletion get permanently removed
 when message base maintenance is run (email is usually nightly).

If you don't have any mail on your system, then I suppose the ;MAIL command
would say so. If you're not a sysop, then the ;MAIL command would do *nothing*.
