Yes, in fact we just commented the code, thanks. Massimo Malabotta

If this needs to be disabled, it can easily be done so via either CSS code or hacking the source.

Why? It doesn't do anything without a confirmation dialog, and it's not a destructive action either. So it is, but the stupidity of some (our) users goes far beyond conceivable... we have some trying to delete messages selecting them and "clicking on the trash icon" :\| oh I just noticed I forgot to stress the request affects only the traditional mode, sorry. I understand it has a rather negligible significance, but this was just to let you know of a feature someone (us) could be interested to. Massimo Malabotta

Here at University of Trieste the administrators of the mail services think that having the "empty mailbox" icon displayed also on inbox folder is somewhat dangerous (for some not-so-savvy users); it would be nice having an oprion in preferences not to show it (better, by default the icon could be hidden with an option to show it). Ideally this option could be enabled separately for all mailbox/folders, but this is just for completeness, the real convenience is for inbox. Thanks Massimo Malabotta
