[MlMt] Finger slip deleted a mailbox - how recover?

[Marc ARC]

Benny,

Since I also had the experience of moving unintentionally/accidentally a 
large mailbox :-) ( and I’m not the only one at the company )

I was wondering if it wouldn’t be an idea to move mailboxes only by 
alt-dragging them.
Other twisted idea might be a alt-double_click to show the conditions, 
etc . . . would also prevent unintentional changes

Just an alt-idea !
