How does one restore deleted emails when the folder (Sent) has not yet been compacted?
I am using Windows 7 and a POP email server in order to keep all the emails locally within my own system.
In other words there should be a recovery method that is Thunderbird specific but also regarding my hard drive.
The odd thing is I only delete emails from the folder itself and such deletions are slow as the computer ticks through and deletes one email after another.
I don't know how these emails lost were deleted as there never was any time delay and possibly could have been done through the search function quite accidentally.

If the deleted messages aren't in the Trash folder, you can try the Recover deleted messages add-on. To install in TB 60, first open Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor and double-click the preference extensions.strictCompatibility to false, OK to close Options.
