When you move an e-mail into a folder, and when you do ctrl-z (undo), it doesn’t take into account the move operation. It undo another earlier operation such as delete. It’s a pity.

The problem still exists unfortunately. We are testing emClient for a customer at the moment and she needs this function.
As far as im aware the Ctrl Z was never designed to undo a Move or Drag message to a folder action. It would probably need to have another shortcut key assigned to do that. Dunno if you could use the same shortcut keys though to do that as well as currently for undoing message deletion & undoing typed text.
Ps If it is already supposed to do that, then its a bug as it doesn’t work for me using the latest eM Client V9.2 for Windows or Mac. Could be its never been implemented so would need a feature request.
Ps I also think it would ne a good feature to have due to i also have sometimes dragged emails into the wrong folder and has taken me sometime to find it. I see there is already another thread on this too.

“Undo” should undo (whatever the last thing is you did)
Otherwise rename it to “Undelete”

Yeah! Although this is 6 years ago, it is still impossible to undo a move to a folder or a delete…
New Postbox migrant here. How on earth is still not possible to CMD/CTRL+Z to undo the accidental moving/deleting of a message?!? This is UI Design 101. There is not a single other email app I know of (and I’ve tried dozens) with this incredible, obvious, basic-functionality shortcoming.

Will do. Really shouldn’t have to create another account for participating in eM Client feature-request conversations. That’s just bad UX.

I just tried a Ctrl+z to undo and accidental archive and I don’t think it did anything. I don’t know what was archived nor can I find an archive or where do they even go? The undo message at the bottom of the display is so fast it’s all but worthless. There needs to be a way for the user to control the length of time it’s displayed or have an 'X" like any other display to remove it.
The status on Sleekplan says completed.

Ctrl+Z does undo for me personally if i manually archive an email using using the latest V9 or 10. If it doesn’t for you and you are using the latest V9/10 which you can check via the release history page, then could be your eg: keyboard shortcuts are not setup correctly in eM Client Settings for the “Undo” command.
So check via “Menu / Settings (Preferences) / General / Shortcuts” . If thats setup ok, then “could be your keyboard settings in your OS itself” are not correct. So also check there too.

If you manually archive an email it can go in different places depending on your account. If its a Gmail account archived email, it goes in the “All Mail” folder.
Most other types of accounts have an actual “Archive” folder within / under the account like with an eg: Outlook, iCloud. If you carn’t find yours, contact your mailbox technical support who can advise where that is.
Why Ctrl-Z doesn’t work I suspect is this is on Android. Yet another problem on Android.
So becuase I’m using gMail that means I have no way of knowing what email I may have missed.
If you are using an Android or iOS device with an eg: External bluetooth keyboard, you wont be able to currently press Ctrl Z atm “as thats not supported yet”, only very basic elementary support “like the up and down arrows” and “backspace key” for deleting emails when going through the subjects in eg: Horizontal view as per @Michal_Burger post below in Nov.
So the Ctrl Z undo might possibly work later down the track. So for now “you need to press the Undo button with your finger” when it appears if you accidentally delete or archive a message.
So because I’m using gMail that means I have no way of knowing what email I may have missed.
As you have Gmail, then you go to the “All Mail” folder which is the archive folder for a Gmail account as advised previously, You can then open the archived email, and then “press the 3 dots at the top right of the message” and select Move to and select your Gmail Inbox folder again.
I guess if I can find it in all mail I can solve my problem the “undo” at the bottom eis so brief and when you don’t realize what’s happened that fast.
Explain to me what is the issue with BT keyboards? They send ASCII codes that are no different than any other keyboard. I mean if every keyboard sent different codes for different keys we wouldn’t have functioning computers.
External B/T keyboards have to be “specially programmed to talk to an app” on Android & iOS to work and won’t just automatically work “even if they work already in other programs”. Every company who writes an app needs to program it to work with whatever key combinations they use.
That’s just how programming works. So as @Michal_Burger advised from his post above its down the track and hopefully won’t be too long.
You didn‘t mention you are talking about Android in your original post. The Android app is a different project and we are trying to add as much functionality from the desktop as quickly as possible, but it is a lot of work. Better shortcuts support is something we plan to focus on soon.
