Delete protection?
Hi FMers -
I have a feature suggestion that would be easy and so helpful. In the meantime, if anyone knows a great workaround - I'd love to hear it. Sometimes I come close to running out of space in my FM account. I should probably level up, but then I'll run out of space there too. So I do huge batch deletes - wipe out my "sent" folder, maybe, or filter by attachments over a certain size, and zap them. Invariably I delete something which should not be deleted. If there was a way to tag certain emails to trigger a warning message or take another individual (not bulk delete) action, I could probably notice why this email should not be part of that dump. Any ideas? Thanks! |

As a starting point, "pin" the messages you do not want to delete. Next, as part of your delete protection, always use
Code:
.... is:unpinned ... For instance, looking for all messages in Joe folder that are not pinned would be Code:
in:Joe is:unpinned |
