Apple mail won't undo a delete

[madoka]

Using Apple mail. Sometimes I delete something too fast. Usually when I hit control-z it brings it right back into the mailbox. Just upgraded computers and now it won't do it anymore. I can still physically find it in the trash and move it over, but the undo function doesn't work anymore.

Any suggestions?

What version of macOS is on your computer and what version was on the old one?

Old: 10.14.6
New: 10.15.1

I'm running Catalina, and Command-Z (not Control-Z) works just fine.

There's no change - it's been Command-Z for as long as I can remember (which is a fair bit of time).

I would assume the OP meant Control-Z, but now I'm thinking there might be a third-party keyboard involved with the old Mac.

It'd be a pretty old third-party keyboard if it lacked a Windows key. Windows key is the default substitute for Command (not CTRL) unless there's some keyboard re-mapping going on.

It may be the OP had remapped from Command-Z to Control-Z, perhaps with a third-party 32-bit app that was deprecated by the move to Catalina.

Or…it wouldn't be the first time a preference got lost during a system migration.
