I highlighted an email in thunderbird in order to read it and inadvertently I his the letter A ( I think, unless it was the letter R) and the email disappeared and it isn't in Trash. Where did it go to?

thanks evan

If an email is highlighted and you hit "A", the email is archived. Check your archive folder.

thank you. I thought of that, except, I have no Archive folder. I went even a step further, I created an Archive folder. I went to my inbox to an email and pressed A it disappeared, but, it isn't in the Archive folder I created.
