Is there a message undelete add on that works with SeaMonkey?
You can move a message from the trash to another folder.
What do they do if it isn't in the trash?
Is it an email or newsgroup message?
In this case it is an email message that has been moved to another
folder and the other folder is not showing the message. We're not
sure what is going on. It may be the folder's index is corrupt and
can be fixed. or the message may be lost. I was looking for an
undelete before I tried anything else and lost the messages
completely.
First check adjacent folders in the list -- I can't count the number of
times I've dragged and dropped a message into an adjacent folder by
mistake and couldn't find it because it wasn't where I thought I'd put it.
Failing that, close SM and delete the .msf (index) file for the folder
in question. When you restart SeaMonkey, it'll build a new one. If the
message appears, you're done. If not, post back; you may be able to
recover it manually from the file but that's complicated.
In the interim, if SM offers to compact folders, be sure to refuse. If
it does, you'll lose all hope of recovery. And if you have it set to
compact folders automatically without asking, disable that feature.
