This was discussed way back, shortly after the Park feature was
introduced, I think ... I'm with you. If I park a message, to me it
means "don't delete," not "don't move from this folder without a
prompt asking if I really want to do it."
As incoming mail arrives, I may want to designate a message as "a
keeper" and will park it. When it comes time to archive my messages,
moving the message removes the park indicator, and that means it will
eventually be deleted by the message aging capabilities of TB!, unless
I then go into the archive folder and manually re-park what I don't
want to disappear.
IMO, very awkward. To me "park" is a misnomer for the intent of the
function; "keep" would be more like it, and then it should be
"sticky," not disappear upon moving the message.
But, I fear we may be in the minority here.
