Lost email when undoing a move to the wrong folder
Tonight I moved a message from my inbox to the wrong folder. When I did CMD+Z to undo, the message disappeared completely. This was on an Gmail IMAP account, so I found it in All Mail, but when I tried to move it from there to the intended folder, that copy disappeared too. Now the email is gone completely.
The scenario:
1) Gmail IMAP account
2) Incoming email in In Box
3) Using Nostalgy, accidentally moved the message to the wrong folder
(similar names in different accounts, the folder where it landed was a POP account)
4) CMD+Z to undo the move
(confirmed that's what CMD+Z should do by looking in the Edit menu)
5) Message did not reappear in In Box
6) Before posting here, I Reset All Folders and Indexed All Folders, just to make sure the message wasn't THERE, but not being seen
7) Searched again after indexing and found only the copy in the Gmail account's "All Mail" folder
8) Tried to move that copy (again through Nostalgy)
9) Didn't find it where I moved it
10) Searched again — and this time the search comes up empty
11) Email is apparently lost forever

Inappropriate?Happened again when trying to "undo" moving a message to the trash. Eventually found it still in the trash, even after "undo" and checking the Edit Menu which had an option for "Redo move to trash" — which implies that the "undo move from trash" had been successful.
Before I could find the message in the trash, when I opened the trash folder, it took 30-40 seconds to render. Got the blue/white spinning barber pole across the bottom for 30-40 seconds before the messages in the trash would show, including the message in question. -
Inappropriate?If you click away from your inbox to another folder and then back to the inbox does the message whose move you just undid appear again?
-
Inappropriate?Nope.

Inappropriate?by the way is this a gmail account? I seem to recall that gmail imap doesn't support undo...

specifically the post titled: 'Undo Delete Message does not work." -
Inappropriate?Yes, itw as Gmail IMAP. So there we go. I'll just have to be more careful, I guess, and manually move the messages back rather than use "undo."
