I seem to accidentally have deleted some mails which then got purged during compacting. Outlook (which i use from the browser since i'm only on Linux) offers to restore the emails, but when i do that, they get immediately erased again by thunderbird, i've tried several workarounds like copying them to another folder first, marking them as unread etc. Nothing helps. I even installed another email program (bluemail), where the mails where not erased immediately, i could read them in the folder to which they were restored, and i moved them around to maybe fool thunderbird, but to no avail, thunderbird keeps deleting them.
I wonder where thunderbird stored the information that the mails should be deleted, and if there is a way to remove that information. I suppose that would also help with another problem i have, that calendar entries from outlook (which it seems to handle using special email item) are disappearing because these mails were also marked as being deleted, or something similar.
Any ideas? If i can't get around this, i may have to stop using thunderbird, which would really be a pity because everything else reallly runs smoothly for me.
