Description

Since Mailspring version 1.17.2, undoing an email deletion using Ctrl+Z no longer works when the email is deleted using the Delete (DEL) key.
This worked correctly in version 1.17.1. The issue is present in all versions starting from 1.17.2.
The problem occurs on multiple accounts, including Microsoft Outlook and a standard IMAP account.

To Reproduce…

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open Mailspring

  2. Select an email in the inbox

  3. Press the Delete (DEL) key to delete the email

  4. Press Ctrl+Z to undo the deletion

Expected Behavior

The deleted email should be restored to its original folder (Inbox or previous folder), as it was in version 1.17.1.

Screenshots

Nothing happens when pressing Ctrl+Z.
The email remains in the Deleted folder.
No error message or notification is shown.

Thank you so much for identifying the version to revert to! I just reinstalled 1.17.1 and will stay on it until this issue is fixed.

This is where the auto-update feature of Mailspring bites you in the ass. :frowning:

Hi everyone – this should be resolved in Mailspring 1.19.0, which was just released. Sorry for the hassle, we’ve added some automated test coverage to avoid regressions in this in the future. It looks like a Typescript upgrade caused a change to property initialization and made mail operations default-not-undoable.

Thanks for your patience!

Hi,

Thanks for the quick fix and for looking into this issue. I’ve updated to Mailspring 1.19.0 and can confirm that the problem with Ctrl+Z not restoring emails deleted via the Delete key is now resolved on my side.

Thanks again!

This was fixed in v1.19.0. Please update to v1.21.1 (latest) — Ctrl+Z should restore archived/deleted emails correctly. Note that undo also appears as a banner at the bottom of the screen immediately after the action, giving you a few seconds to cancel it.
