is the new version of the mailbox really new?

  It's been fixed.

If the current state is 1 2* 3 4* 5* 6 and you delete the asterisked messages
you then have 1 3 6. If you delete message 3 you have 1 and 6. Now, if you
use the command delete, do you want to just undo the very last delete so you
have 1 3 6 or do you undo the delete for all messages so you have 1 2 3 4 5 6?

  The delete command with no argument restores all undeleted messages, so your
  second choice is almost correct; however, the undeleted messages are added to
  the end of the message list: 1 6 2 3 4 5. Also, the undelete command may
  restore the undeleted message in any order, so that 1 6 5 2 4 3 would also be
  correct.

What if you use the command order without undeleting first? Is it supposed to
to use the original order of the mailbox minus the deleted messages?

  Yes.
