Accidental deletion of what? Email messages?


Yes, although The Bat! has an available NNTP add-on, it just isn't a
news reader and I wouldn't recommend it as such....

Mail... for example, you can set the program to automatically delete
all mail over X days old, but the parked messages will not be deleted.
Messages can be parked and unparked manually or automatically, based
on highly configurable filters.


If I delete email from OE's inbox, it lands in the Deleted folder. Now,
there are two ways that folder can be emptied:

1) I set the "Delete on exit" option to do its thing. This can't be done by
accident unless you're blind or illiterate.

2) I use 3 specific keystrokes to do it manually. If this happens, it's
because I wanted it to happen.

Neither is the fault of the program.
