Message is appended to the Sent folder only after SeaMonkey gets response from mail server that it successfully received the message. <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Reference/nsMsgMessagesFlags> When moving or deleting messages in mail folders the actual data is still there until rebuilt by compacting. If you don't compact you can manually "restore" messages by editing the X-Mozilla-Status header bitflag. I have used Perl to reset values to reset all messages in a mail folder to recover lost mail for folks that made oopsies with the delete key. -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
