Grrr. Backspace deleted my messages.
Grrr. Something is telling me that Apple Mail is flawed.
So I am looking at a [ sent ] message, and try to add a to-do associated with it. But I press 'enter' and the details of the to-do are incorrect. So I click on the details and try to back-space, and instead of deleting the to-do error, it deleted the message.
"No problem", I thought, "I just need to go to the trash folder of Apple Mail and restore the file".
So I go to the trash, and W T F ? Nothing there! So to test that I didn't do some foolish "permanent delete" keyboard shortcut, I went back to my sent messages, clicked on a message, and then pressed the backspace button. It disappears. I go to the trash... nothing there.
What the h e l l is this nonsense?! Apple Mail permanently deletes messages when you press "backspace"? What the h e l l is with this inconsistency anyway... To delete in the finder, Command+Delete. To delete in Apple Mail, Delete.
Desperate for help of restoring my files, or preventing this in future.
