Microsoft Outlook 2010: How do I mass undelete IMAP emails?

I have a folder full of IMAP emails marked for deletion that I want to undelete and then backup. (Not hard-deleted, just marked for deletion - i.e., they have the strikethrough)

I can right-click on each individual email and select Undelete from the flyout menu, but as I have 14,000+ emails to undelete, this is going to get old fast.

In 2007, I was able to Select All and then right-click and select undelete, but that option appears to have vanished from the flyout in 2010.

I've not been able to figure out the keyboard shortcut for undelete either.

Help?

What if you move them to a different folder? Do they stop being marked?

Is there a webmail option for your email provider? They may have a mass undelete tool.

Response by poster: No, I can move things around in webmail, but it doesn't have anything useful like changing the status of emails.
