Re: [Evolution] Long standing feature request (Undo operation)

I've added what the mysterious feature request is to the subject line
since it's not mentioned anywhere ...

It may be 15 years old, but it's only got 31 comments on it and there's
a massive gap of 5 years 2010-2015 with only 10 comments in the last 10
years. So, TBH, there doesn't really seem to be a massive clamouring
for it.

Yes, it might be a useful thing and I might use it once or twice a
year, but I can see that to do it properly it would have to be built
into every operation and that is a massive task and something that
affects the whole of the gui codebase I presume - possibly even the
other backend components (if, in between deleting and undoing, another
client expunges, then that needs to be handled and involves the
backends).

I don't think it's as easy as some of the bug comments seem to think.
