I am finding that some of my email has disappeared from my inbox.  I

I can look at the file <profile>/Mail/<server>/Inbox and find the email
is still there.  Here is a partial extract of one of the missing messages:

I just did a quick search and it appears from this that the status
indicates that the message has been deleted!  If so, this was NOT
intended to be deleted.  How can I un-delete it?  This is a large inbox,
about 450M in size, so using an editor is likely problematic.  I
attempted to use advanced search, but <deleted> is not one of the
choices for <status> <is> to match.  Is there a plug-in to fix this?  Or
a tool of some sort?  If platform specific, I am on linux x64 here.

First, do NOT compact folders.

Check the Trash folder and see if it's in there. If so, simply move it to the folder of your choice.

If you have emptied the Trash folder but have not compacted after you /may/ be able to recover it. See if this helps.
