Is it possible to recover an email that we accidentally deleted before we finished it?

I was writing a new email and stopped for a while without selecting "save". When I came back, I thought it was something else, useless, and I deleted it by selecting "Discard changes" as well. Is it possible to recover the deleted email?

Your only hope is if it was automatically saved as a Draft message while you were away. The setting that controls that is found in <Settings | Composition | Auto Save every [n] minutes>. Mine is enabled and set for 6, which may not be the default. If it's not there it's gone for good.
