[MlMt] nuclear option

[Antonio Leding]

I doubt this is even remotely related but I will say that for some MM 
users (i.e. ME), inadvertently wiping out mail can be quite easy.  
Here’s how it happened…

* I receive some mail alert that is clicked on either intentionally or 
by circumstance.

* This will take you directly to the “All Messages” portion of the 
MM client with the message from the alert brought into focus and 
selected.
* Sometimes, that message will be part of a thread that I need to read 
more about so I then click on one of the many highlightable fields in 
the just received message.
* This of course creates a new ad hoc filter - then, I often find it 
necessary to move from the “All Messages” section to the “All / 
Junk  / Deleted” section.
* When there, on a couple of occasions, I have highlighted a large range 
of messages for deletion and inadvertently forgotten that some of these 
were already in the Deleted\Trash section of my client.

Again, I doubt this is what is happening but it is one somewhat related 
use case that I have encountered…
