Howdy. I am curious about folks' reaction to the idea of making it more difficult to delete a folder.
I've accidentally deleted important folders a couple of times. You might think that the confirmation that TB requires, before deleting a folder, would be enough. It isn't. In using a computer, we get so many confirmation requests, that it we often do not read them carefully. If we think we already know what the query is asking, we just confirm automatically. For very important actions, it is often worth making an extra effort to confirm that the action really is one that the user wants. The TB mechanism of "parking" a message is really good for this extra protection, for an individual message. (And, yes, a folder with a parked message is more difficult to delete.) So I think it would be good to be able to declare an entire folder as parked. Then it would require extra effort to delete it, even if the folder had no parked messages. What do people think of this idea? d/ -- Dave Crocker <mailto:dhc2@;dcrocker.net> TribalWise <http://www.tribalwise.com> t +1.408.246.8253; f +1.408.850.1850 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
