Hello

I want to be notified with a confirmation box before any email is removed/deleted from the inbox.

How can I do that?

Sometimes, my keyboard stucks and I see my emails disappearing from my inbox one by one, probably deleted.

Thanks

re :Sometimes, my keyboard stucks

I advise you clean the keyboard. There maybe dirt under the keys.
