BTW, I suppose a "Compact Folder" on the one       where the delete and reinstatement have happened, to keep things neat (I       usually do that).              What I didn't understand in the previous message was the statement that       "Edit > Undelete Message, mapped to Ctrl+Z, exists", since I don't see       exactly that option anywhere -- but, again, that's just curiosity, since       my need has been resolved by your suggestion; thanks again.              >> It always seemed weird that there IS an option to "Undo move message",       >> but not one to "Undo delete message" (or a pop-up asking for       >> confirmation, at least).       >>       >> If the deleted message was in the IMAP 'inbox' folder, sure, I knew I       >> could find it in the IMAP's 'Trash', and restore (copy/move) it to its       >> original folder; I just never made the connection to the local       >> equivalent (due to 'shortness of vision', as I admitted).              I was fixated on the word "delete", and not on the actual action...              >> And, yes, I do prefer "Move To (the original message folder)" instead       >> of D'n'D, since it seems easy to 'misdrop', even with a good mouse.              Do you do that, too?              --       Best,              s) alexyu              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
