I have my IMAP mail preferences set so that "when I delete a message: mark it as deleted". When I am going through my INBOX and delete a message (pressing the delete key) I am unable to go back to that message and un-mark it as deleted. I used to be able to do this in Comm 4.x. This is a problem when you accidentally delete a message and wish to undo that operation before you "clean up folders" or quit the program. Please allow me to press "delete" on a message already marked as "deleted" so that it is marked as "read" but not as "deleted".

I can confirm that this is happening to me with 0.9.1 on Win 98, 2nd edition. I'm just now trying to see if Mozilla's mail facility is good enough for me to live with, so I don't know if this is a design decision or a recent regression. In my case, this is convenient because I use filters to move messages to other folders. However, sometimes a subject line will tempt me to read a message that has been moved to another folder. If the message is something I really should handle, then I undelete it to leave it in my INBOX, so I can remember to handle it. I've looked for duplicates of this bug. There were a couple that offhand mentioned this, but I didn't find an exact duplicate. Bug 82056 may be close enough, however. It concerns the context menu changing between "Delete" and "Undelete" depending on the current messages status. Also, is "movemail" the right component? I think this is the name of the piece on Unix that moves mail from the system mailbox to where Mozilla can handle it. I'd guess "Mail Window Front End", unless perhaps the Back End doesn't have the concept of an undelete.
