Hello Robert,

Don't you just hate it when that happens  ?!

Maybe you'd like to install this extension :

RECOVER DELETED MESSAGES:

"an extension that allows to recover deleted messages, if the folder has not been compacted yet. To use it, select the folder, right-click and choose "Recover deleted messages", then follow the messages in status bar. From the 0.2 version it should be able also to recover deleted messages from Imap folders, if they're set for offline use."

You started your post with :

"I deleted an email by mistake"

Did you mean "email account"  ?

If so, would you please take a look at this :

Don't be so hard on yourself - we all make mistakes from time to time !
