Okay; I don't much like that bar, but agree it will help me focus (I hope)
better. Many thanks!

To help prevent from doing this again, go to View | Layout and disable the
folder list and enable the folder bar. That way its much less likely that
you will be able to delete an entire folder without doing it deliberately.

you clearly are a bright person: I did have 69 messages in Follow Up, and
did delete it, say yes, empty trash, say yes, and now, pine. Somebody
ought to tell Uncle Bill that people who think they know it all get tired
of being asked if they really mean it, when 999 chances in 1000, they do.

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.
