Hi Timotheus,

I too had found the 
'https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/issues/5133' page however it 
was unclear what the 'messages' icon was that one was suppose to click 
on to 'undelete' a deleted message.  If they were speaking to the list 
of messages one sees (in the right hand html 'frame') after clicking on 
a corresponding folder in the left hand frame of roundcubemail, I have 
no icons at all in that area (frame) of the screen.   I clicked on every 
icon on the roundcubemail page showing a selected 'deleted' message and 
nothing toggled the message back to undeleted.   Even clicking the 
'Delete' icon for a selected deleted message did not toggle it back to 
undeleted.   Can you shed light as to which icon they were referring to?

Also, in the event I could get this 'toggle' to work, it seems very 
counter productive to have to go through each deleted message to reverse 
the deleted action particularly if a large number of messages were all 
deleted by mistake in one action (which can be done and was in my example).
