Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1) Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.12 (20080213) The fact that you can right-click on Trash and indivertibly select Empty Trash, permanently delete thousands of emails, needs to be fixed IMHO. Suggestion: Either remove this option from the right-click menu, or add a warning before permanently deleting messages, or at least before permanently deleting 100 messages. I did this twice by mistake, since the Empty Trash option (on the right-click menu) is in about the same location as Mark Folder as Read option. I know there is a plug-in to add a warning, but IMHO this is a serious design flaw that should be fixed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Sorry for the typo "indivertibly" should be "inadvertently"
