Undoing compacting

You cannot undo compacting, in other words there is no such thing as
"uncompacting". Compacting physically removes messages marked for
deletion and hidden from view. Once they're gone, they're gone. Don't
confuse compacting a folder with compressing or zipping it.

Usually somebody asks how to "uncompact" a folder when they have lost
messages due to compacting. You shouldn't lose messages when compacting
unless a folder was badly corrupted, in which case you'd probably have
already noticed problems such as message fragments, several messages
with a date of 1969 (due to the Date: header in a message being
deleted), "resurrected" deleted messages, or long startup times because
Thunderbird gets caught in a loop parsing (analysing) the inbox.
