Quoting francis picabia <fpica...@gmail.com>:
At our site, we've had dynamic mail with IMP active for roughly 3 weeks.
Today we have our second user to restore from backup after a user
"accidentally" deletes all of their email. I had difficulty
understanding this until the second occurrence.
In traditional mode, the email is displayed in pages. This is like
many online email services at hotmail, google mail, etc.
Users are accustomed to selecting the upper check box to select
everything on the page (all viewable on the screen). They select
delete, thinking it is only the messages they see at the time. In
reality, it selected everything in their mailbox. They purged,
thinking it was only the messages in front of their eyeballs being
purged. Of course, it deleted and purged everything in their mailbox.
You're kidding me, right? The dynamic view is exactly how every other
UI handles a select all. The traditional view is hamstrung by
PHP/page architecture and it is the UI that is wrong.
Regardless, the answer is easy. Use a trash mailbox.
