Undoing an unsuccessful operation
Is there a way to undo an operation that did not succeed, so as to recover the message on which the operation failed? I have no idea what operation Tbird attempted, only that it involved an account to which I don't have access and that it resulted in the message disappearing from my Inbox.

I managed to find the lost message on the server. Nevertheless my question stands for future reference.

Re: Undoing an unsuccessful operation
Whether or not an operation can be undone would depend on the nature of the operation. Any action in which Thunderbird hands off a message to a server would normally not be reversible because it would require the server to reverse the action as well.
