I agree with you, but I think that this was within the 30-day permanent-delete-from-trash window. If you are saying that the the 30-day window is too long, that's a reasonable opinion. Maybe Gmail could offer a user-settable window length, with the default at 30, while more savvy users who trust their own email management could set it to zero.
Update: I would even be willing to pay Google for extra features such as the above, and more importantly, for guaranteed/quicker support from them if anything goes wrong.

- carussell 15y agoDon't allow the new window to take effect until the length of the old window has lapsed. I.e., make the window apply not just to deletion, but also to the window setting itself.
