Are you saying that you had 69 messages in a *User Created* folder and you
accidentally deleted the folder and its contents? And that you would like to
have this user created folder set so it cannot be accidentally deleted? If
that is what you are asking, then No. You get two chances to redeem
yourself.

1): When you select to delete, you get a prompt asking if you really want to
delete the folder and all of its contents.

2): After you delete it, you can still go into Deleted Items and drag it
back out, (unless you have emptied Deleted Items before you realized what
happened).

The best you could do is use Drafts as your *Follow up* folder.

I'm something of a control freak: it annoys me that I cannot delete
"Drafts" as it is a system folder. Is there a way I can make my Follow Up
folder to be a system folder? I just deleted 69 messages I rather needed
to follow up on, and I am a bit depressed. Not perfect, just depressed.
TIA.
