Thunderbird question
 

Question for those using Thunderbird as a news reader.

If you delete a post, is there a way of getting it back?

They way mine is set, if I accidentally click on "delete", the post
disappears. It's not put in a trash folder (like e-mail). I've clicked
on "Undo delete" in the Edit bar but that doesn't return the post to
the viewer.

I know I can probably go hunt for it in a cache or something but was
wondering if there is a setting to put deleted newsgroup posts in the
trash bin where it can be recovered.

Do you have another computer or device setup to read newsgroups?

Just drag and drop it from the trash, back to the in box. Or, right
click on the message in the trash list, and click "move to"... and click
the folder you want.

There is no "trash" folder for the newsgroup account. Only for the
email account.

I can't find a way to create one either.

My problem is accidentally clicking on "delete". When it's gone, it's gone.

Yes and I can find it on them. I was just wondering if there's a way
to setup Thunderbird so it acts more like an e-mail account where a
"deleted" email goes into a trash folder.

Doesn't seem to be a way to do that in the newsgroup accounts.

Go to VIEW, THREADS, and click on ALL. That might bring them back if you
haven't actually somehow deleted them from the server.

Has nothing to do with the server.
