Trash bin (for messages, or files) is a poor man's replacement for making backup copies.
- x3ro 7y agoI think that's an oversimplification.. let's say I have daily backups. Let's also say I'm opening my email client in the morning and receive 20 mails, but because I haven't had any coffee yet I accidentally delete the wrong one, which I realize 15 seconds later. Now that mail is gone and I have no way to retrieve it.. (No, paying more attention is not a solution. People inevitably make these kinds of mistakes)
- brokenkebab 7y agoYes, I admit, backups alone is too narrow a solution. Still, it's a terminal program, apparently not targeted towards general mouse-and-click user. Here, you probably can assign a key(combination) to 'mv Trash' instead of deletion if you like it, or just have no keybinding at all, forcing yourself to type ":delete" (or whatever the command to delete is in Aerc).
