Oh yes. Very easy - I just did it yesterday. I normally do ^A^D^E in
quick succession on my spam trap mail box - unfortunately yesterday I
wasn't in my spam trap, I was in my INBOX :-( I suppose the problem is
that I normally do ^A^Y^E on my INBOX to get it to filter "seen"
messages, but my fingers took on a life of their own.
Fortunately the server is backed up nightly and I archive all my emails
as they come in, so I didn't loose anything - just a pain in the
backside.
(I've just seen that your question has been answered elsewhere - I just
relate the story as a warning to others :-) )
