Sorry for the delay

thanks for your input
I have put three emails in my trash folder 3K in size
empty trash on exit not set and on close it went to 0

But on one account of six in that profile it is
I thought each account was separate or could it be the cause

Also I have always taken compact folder to apply on account selected or 
is it a global action across all accounts in that profile


thanks

but, Beverly, emptying Trash does not, normally, remove the email 
totally from the inbox file.


When an email is moved from the inbox to the trash file, the message 
still exists in the inbox, but part of its header is changed from a zero 
to a one, or vice versa, and it becomes invisible in the inbox. It is 
only when trash is empty and *File-Compact Folders* is done that the 
email is really deleted.


If Smiles opens his inbox file (without extension) in Notepad or 
similar, he should see a listing of all his deleted mail, well at 
least the stuff he has deleted since he last compacted his mail folders.

 When an email is moved from the inbox to the trash file, the message 
still exists in the inbox 


Thanks for the clarification and posting the manual recovery option for 
messages still in the inbox for the op to pursue.


However, I think/thought the op was asking why the trash was empty when 
he had taken no action to empty it.


It would be nice, but, as far as I know there is no way to toggle the 
deleted messages on and off.


It is possible to recover deleted messages sequentially within SM by 
using ctrl-z but don't know how far/long that works... i.e. if it's 
possible after closing SM and returning.  It is possible to return to a 
folder and do so after going elsewhere in the same session.

Hi Beverly,

I think as in Thunderbird, ctrl-z only has one level of undo, unlike 
word processors that have many, so only the last change is undone.  Of 
course if one uses Shift-delete on an email, that doesn't work at all.


Once you close a program, the Undo memory is cleared.  If you perform 
other actions in the same session, using Ctrl-z would undo a prior 
action performed, not recovering the deleted email done many actions 
down the road.

You get a warning email ??? From where? Outline your steps taken to
delete email and subsequent empty-trash, etc.
