If you've unset "execute immediately" and the messages are marked for deletion, which I think is the case you are talking about, you can use /Message/Mark/Unmark or the context menu's /Mark/Unmark to effectively undo the deletion. Yes, indeed. When I started exploring Claws Mail, I had seen that "Mark/Unmark" feature. But I did RTFM [1] and it says, in the Glossary, that a "Mark" is "An arbitrary indicator that can be set on a message by the user in order to draw attention to the message. Marks are shown in the Mark column of the Message List." That indicator was indeed what I saw when I tried it. I had not realized that the "Unmark" command does double duty as "Undelete". And looking at the code just now, it seems to do even more than that. It clears several other flags as well, not only the "marked" one, although that is what its name implies. I take it that this undocumented (?) and unexpected behavior is to be seen as a feature? [1] https://www.claws-mail.org/documentation.php |
