#2Open in Thunderbird, it will be there, probably.
I had a similar, though not the same, on new and old Outlook and indeed it appeared on Thunderbird. After an hour or two also appeared on Outlooks.

#3The commentary is golden.
Trying to guess what is going on. I guess they refer to the original message (on the server) and its local copy. Both referred to as "the message".

#5Excellent reflection on an absurd premise, thanks for sharing.

#6I've had similar philosophical thoughts about a transaction rollback.
Consider this definition from go's database/sql package.
func (tx *Tx) Rollback() error
Now, obviously the error isn't totally useless as an error can be returned to indicate, say, the connection to the database was dropped. But even in that case, the definition of a transaction's validity/lifetime means that even if rollback fails, the transaction is in the same state as if rollback had succeeded.

#7It's very easy.
"This message does not exist" can be taken to be a false statement, without introducing any contradiction.
It is not like "this message is false" (Liar's Paradox) or "this sentence has no proof" (Gödel's sentence).
Unfortunately, just because "this message does not exist" is a false statement, contradicted by existential evidence, doesn't mean that the remaining claims next to it can be dismissed as false.

Obviously, transaction may fail to be rolled back and leave dangling locks. Not sure about the specifics.

Or the Java SQL connection interface, that can throw SQLException on close(). Yes, if your connection throws an error when closing, I guess it stops being usable.
Has anybody ever did something useful with that exception?

#10I find the message self explanatory.
Outlook is server authoritative. Message does not exist on server and thus it can't be saved.
But it is available on that client - client was able to load it before it was removed from server - and such it can be copied out or discarded from client.
