Is there no way to restore an Inbox after email deletion?!!

With a simple mis-keystroke I deleted ALL but 1 email in my inbox... Oddly though this contained years on emails it only took a few seconds?!

So I immediately went into the profile in the roaming folder for windows 10 and searched for a backed up copy of the inbox... assuming that Thunderbird would do such a thing as I have seen in other email clients.

I found nothing like that. I searched everywhere I could think of for some old inbox file that would contain the emails or at least most of them... NOTHING. I just have never seen a client that didn't make routine backups of the data files.

Am I missing something? Is there a file somewhere?

There is no automatic backup file.

But a) they should be in trash folder, unless you did shift+delete, b) you could have immediately done "undo" i.e. ctrl+Z (on Mac command+Z)

Yes it was an shift+delete, the slip was the finger accidentally hit the end key just before. Amazingly - when I would select large swaths of emails it would take a while to complete - but this managed to delete them all in under 30 seconds.

I think the Thunderbird developers need to consider (if nothing else) the old Eudora method. It simply would create a new inbox file and that way if you lost anything you could simply go back and grab it within a week or so.

So I also tried some file recovery and it also has not worked...

TBH this isn't at all realistic.

Yes, shift+delete is fast because the messages don't go to trash folder. However, in some cases the mistake can be undone if caught quickly as I mentioned with Undo.
