App
Thunderbird for Android
App version
18.0
Where did you get the app from?
Google Play
Android version
12
Device model
Samsung Note 10+
Steps to reproduce
- This is using a POP account
- View a message in the inbox
- Hit the garbage can
- Do not check the POP server; the email is still on the server
- No way to move that message back to the inbox
- Check emails, and now the message is gone from the server as well
Expected behavior
There should be an option to select a message in the Trash folder and move it back to the inbox/undlete.
Every email client I have used, literally since the invention of email, has had a facility to undelete a message. This is SERIOUSLY braindead and horrid UX.
Actual behavior
Nada. Unable to move/undelete emails from the Trash.

Research direction
Reproduce the POP-account flow on Android: delete a message from the inbox, open Trash, and inspect the available message actions. Done means a Trash message can be selected and moved back to the inbox without unexpected server deletion; no source files or tests are named in the issue.
