Alexyu, what I might have omitted to mention is that, WHEN you Delete a 
Message from the Inbox it IS NOT actually deleted.

All the messages in your Inbox are contained in the one File and each 
'e-mail' with-in that File begins with a single byte to indicate if the 
(following) message is NEW (i.e. UNREAD), or has been READ but not 
deleted or has been DELETED.

The e-mail is not actually deleted (although it will not be listed in 
the 'Inbox' at all but will be listed in the 'TRASH' file but marked for 
deletion) at this stage.

When you 'Empty Trash' and then 'Compact Folders', the message is really 
gotten rid of and removed forever! Until this stage, you can reclaim 
your lost message.
