Is it possible for Outlook Express to incorporate a prompt when deleting
folders contained within the Deleted Items (trash) folder?
I inadvertently deleted one of my email folders, by accidentally dragging it
into the Deleted Items folder (this is easy to do) in my folders list. The
only way you can notice this is if you spot the little plus sign beside the
folder (to show a folder within a folder). Instead I merely opened the
Deleted Items folder, to check that I was happy to delete all the emails in
it (it only shows the emails in the folder, not any sub-folders), and then
emptied the folder, not realising I had deleted a whole email folder (full of
emails). A prompt saying, "You are about to delete "XYZ" folder and all its
contents - Do you wish to continue?" would have been most useful.
