I haven't done this, but it should work.  Exit claws mail.  In your home
directory there is a directory called .claws-mail.  In that directory
there is another directory called uidl.  Go into that directory and do
an ls.  Look for the file of the email account that you are interested
in resetting.  Edit its file, and remove the last X entries, enough to
capture all the messages that you accidentally deleted.  Save it, and
now restart claws mail.  If you click get mail, it should download the
messages you deleted (actually, all the X messages whose markers you
removed from the file you edited).
