can an accidentally deleted message be recovered?
It is no longer in the trash map.
Dirk, have you compacted your inbox file since you occidentally deleted
your message??
Normally, when you delete an e-mail, it is not actually deleted, just a
bit of coding at the start of the message is changed to indicate not to
display that e-mail as being in the Inbox.
When you "Empty the Trash", I'm guessing that bit of coding is changed
again to indicate not to show the e-mail in the Trash folder, either.
When you "File->Compact Folders" then the e-mail is totally history!!
If you haven't "File->Compact Folders" since deleting the e-mail, I
think the e-mail would still be recoverable by closing SeaMonkey and
opening the file called "inbox" without the suffix and without the "" in
a text editor (maybe save it somewhere else, first!!) such as
Notepad/Wordpad and searching for some distinctive text (do you remember
the Subject:??) and editing that message to make it visible.
I don't know what you actually need to change or what you should change
it to .... but, maybe, someone else will drop by with that information!
