Hi.

My inbox was nearing its limit so i decided to clean it. I checkboxed everything and moved it to trash, and at the same time i realized i had trashed mail i want to keep. As my brain wanted to click the link to the "trash" folder, my body thought it'd be fun to hit the "empty" button. The same second i got the impulse to facepalm over my screw up is the second i recall a "Confirm empty trash folder?" being there, so i quench my impusle to /palm and watch myself get redirected to a cleaned out trash folder and now here i am, typing this.

Checkboxing "all mails" and moving them was thoughtless of me and i agree if a PM is important enough to worry over losing then i should handle it with greater care.

I was about to scrap this suggestion with the above sentence in mind. I let my imagination run through various different scenario's when handling the mailbox and the essence of what's left is simply that nobody is perfect and everybody makes mistakes now and then. When something as silly as losing focus for a sec, checkboxing one mail too much and hitting empty (that's when you realize it's gone ofc) can mean losing something as important as, for example, proof of someones innocent or guilt in a SA situation, can't this confirmation box be useful?

Just to be on the super crystal safe side -

When you click this you should get this

Bumpety.

I wouldn't mind this at all.

Bump.

Bump.

I think the fact that there's a trash can that they move to is enough...
Why do you need 3 steps to destroy trash?

No i do not agree.

I am already unhappy with having to first check all my pms, second move them to the trash folder, and third empy the trash folder.

We do not need a fourth step, we already have a confirmation which is known as the trash folder.

i don't think it is necessary, it would piss me off having to confirm yet another action

Voted no, because it's simply not needed

Voted yes!
