"Always keep starred messages" question
New to TB...
I know this setting pertains to auto-deleting messages, but is there a similar setting for manual deletions?
Let's say I highlight all old messages dated in 2023--450 messages for example--then I press the Delete key....if there are any starred messages in that group I'd like for them to either not be deleted or to get an additional warning like "Messages for deletion includes starred messages...delete anyway? Yes/No"
I'm guessing there's no such warning, but thought I'd ask....thanks.

Just a tip, since you're new to TB... for issues such as this - and there will be many - do a small bit of investigation, such as - select a message you plan to delete - star it - then delete it that little process will answer your question :)

I had already done that--starred or not, everything I manually deleted showed up in trash.
The reason I asked the question was a hope that there might be a TB setting I had missed...guess not.
Nope, there is no "this message can never be deleted manually" setting.
Generally it is a good idea to put those sorts of messages into another folder rather than keep them in the same folder as the stuff you do not intend to keep.
Just getting my feet on the ground with TB I haven't gelled a usage strategy yet...so thanks for your comment; something I'll start doing.
