125397 - restore messages from trash

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Backend, defect)

Description

[Michael Wardle]

If I delete a message, it ends up in the trash.  If I go into the trash to try
to undelete a message, there doesn't seem to be a "Restore" option that moves
the message back to the folder it was deleted from.  This is behavior like some
desktop's trash facilities (including Windows Recycle Bin).

It would probably require mailnews to store an extra state: previous directory
(or something similar).

Does "Edit->Undo Delete Message" do this?  It doesn't seem to work very well
(some messages end up with empty headers).

Should this menu be renamed Restore?  Perhaps we could have "Restore" on a
right-click context menu for a message in the trash.

No dupe found, valid RFE.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but still has no comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project 5 years ago.

Because of this, we're resolving the bug as EXPIRED.

If you still can reproduce the bug on SeaMonkey 2 or otherwise think it's still valid, please REOPEN it and if it is a platform or toolkit issue, move it to the according component.
