re : I cannot see any undelete button anywhere.

'Edit' > 'Undo Delete Message' But this needs to be done immediately after accidentally deleting.

All deleted emails will go to the Trash or if imap, then it should go into the imap trash folder. However, if you deleted using this method: Hold down the Shift key while pressing Del Then it will bypass the Trash folder.


This addon can be useful in recovering emails: https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/index-en.html#recDelMsg
