Accidently deleted a photo I wish to keep, How can I retrieve the photo?

more options

I was looking through all my new mail and was doing a lot of deleting. This girls photo came up and I accidentally hit the delete bar. Is there any way I can get her back? I found the photo in the delete file, but can't see any way to either 'undo' or send the photo to me through the email Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, BanjoJim

Under edit is an undo command. It will undo the last operation only so if you deleted something else after this will not work.

If you found the message in the trash just drag and drop it back into the folder you want it in.

FYI: Using the Inbox for long term storage of message that you want to keep is a bad idea. Read this article about maintaining your email system. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keep_it_working_%28Thunderbird%29
