      Found some messages in my Trash that I need to move back to the Inbox. There doesn't seem to be any way of doing this.

      Also, is it possible to backup certain messages in the Inbox? I realize I can export mail but that means I export the whole whack of messages.

        I don't use Opera Mail since a long time but I remember there was some undelete button on trash view.

        If I remember correctly you can save a message like you save a web page.

          Yes. The trash button switches modes when in the trash view. Clicking it works as undelete. The button should be blue too. One can still click the drop-down next to the button to get other functions.

          One can also right-click on a trashed message, goto "delete" and choose "undelete".

          I can export mail but that means I export the whole whack of messages.

          You can ctrl + s to save a single message if you want. You can also, create a label, drag what messages you want to it, right-click on the label and choose to export the label. Then, you can delete the label if you want. See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/m2tips/export_messages for more info.

            Looked again and Undelete is under Delete. A lot of people would miss that. Its not like they're lacking vertical space here.

            Saving messages: Thanks to you I persevered. Sure enough under File there are those magical words called Save As. I can highlight the specific messages I need and POOF. Saved. Awesome.

            THANK YOU!!!
