Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 526541

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, enhancement)

Description

[dfghjkjhg]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Thunderbird/3.0b3

If I mark a message in the trash folder
or a contact in the adressbook
and then (maybe accidentally) hit the "DEL" button, the mail/contact disappears immediately without any warning/prompt whether I really want to delete this entry (unlike e. g. MS Outlook does).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select an e-mail (trash)   or   any contact (adressbook)
2. Press the "Del"-Button
3. The message/contact immediately disappears without any warning

For email, you can just hit "undo" to get the message back. For address books, there's nothing you can do, though.

Please make also sure that users are prompted for an confirmation when deleting mails via   [Shift]+[Del]   in ALL MAIL FOLDERS (not only in trash).

Re comment#3:
Yes, bug 526541 covers the missing prompt before deleting a contact.

But what about "Missing prompt before deleting Mails (via [Del] in trash; via [Shift]+[Del] in any mail folder)" ?

I opened a new/clean bug w/o the addressbook part.
