Good morning, In the past, I have successfully used the "recoverDeletedMessages" add-on developed by Paolo Kaosmos developer's page for some clients. The problem is that with Mozilla's migration to Webextensions, the author has decided to abandon the development of his plugins. I have not found any plugin that can replace it, has anyone thought of rewriting it? For those who are not familiar, the plugin in question allows you to recover deleted messages (from non-compacted folders) by setting the X-Mozilla-Status header to 0 (unread message) in deleted messages.

I generally open the file in notepad++ (it does better with large files than the native windows notepad) and simply do a find and replace on the header, including status.
