Restoring emails from an INBOX-1 file or from a backup after I accidentally deled emails

Hi!

I had one email selected from the email list view. I tried to delete it, but I accidentally hit "Home" before "Shift" + "Delete", thus resulting into my inbox being wiped out of my emails. I have checked Thunderbird to not ask about permanent deletion, but maybe it should still ask when deleting LOTS of emails permanently.

However, when looking into the "INBOX-1" file which I noticed located among the Thunderbird profile's account files (profile / ImapFile / imap.some.domain.com, next to the "INBOX-1.msf" file ) with a text editor, I can see that the old messages are there. How can I restore those emails from there?

If those files cannot be restored, how can I use a backup, if I found one? Will the action which I accidentally made (deleting the files) be redone when the Thunderbird next time synchronizes itself with the server, or will the old messages stay after restoring files from the backup?

Sincerely,

your Noobie :-)
