I accidentally deleted a fairly large email, namely 3GB in the Thunderbird application, but when I checked in junk/trash the deleted email didn't appear. When I checked locally there was a file called Trash (no file format) with a size of around 3GB and in it there was an email which I deleted previously. How do I return the email back to the inbox?

Not sure if this will work, since I can't 'see' the file, but try this: - exit Thunderbird - in Windows file manager, copy the file to the Mail\Local Folders folder in the profile - restart Thunderbird to see if it recognizes the file

Hi David I tried it but when I restarted Thunderbird the name of the Trash file disappeared, it seems like Thunderbird deleted it because I didn't find the previously deleted email, luckily I had copied the Trash file before
