Hi, Local folders seem destined to be compacted (Trimmed). Can I make a folder or email undeletable? I'd love to keep some. Thanks

Compacting only deletes messages that you have previously clicked to delete, freeing up space in the folder.

David, Thanks for your speedy reply. A bit confused how you deliberately "delete messages that you have previously clicked to delete"? That's sorta why I want to do this. I want some but not all messages; mostly from friends or businesses. Thanks
