"undo" in inbox, or maybe trash folder

[ratcreature]

Title:
"undo" in inbox, or maybe trash folder

Area:
inbox

Summary:
If you happen to delete a message you didn't want to delete there is no way to get it back that I know of. It would be nice if the inbox had an undo button, or if there was a trash folder that maybe kept deleted messages for a little while. (Maybe for a log-in session?)

Description:
On my laptop screen size in the inbox the "delete selected" button is not right of the "mark unread" but is fluidly put directly below the "mark read" button. Yesterday I selected a message and thanks to some sort of trackpad accident I clicked the "delete" rather than the "mark read" button above the delete (my trackpad is not as precise or responsive as I'd like sometimes, also tapping it functions as clicking, so accidents happen). There was no way to undo the accidental delete, or to recover the message from a trash folder or the like. It would be nice if this was possible.

I don't know if DreamWidth had the necessary space to keep messages in a trash folder forever, so such a folder might need an automatic deletion period.

A Trash folder would be great. But it should send a message a week or two before auto-deleting, just in case.

A trash folder that keeps anything deleted for about a week would be super useful.

I also like the idea of a trash folder with a specified deletion period.

Semi-related: http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/27516.html and I think the two folders would complement each other nicely.

I really don't want to have to manage a Trash folder; I much prefer the simplicity of a message actually being gone once it's deleted.

Oh god, so old... but damn I couldn't find anything newer on this... I wish there was a confirmation before it let you delete. I just hit the wrong button and deleted messages I didn't mean to.
