How to ask us before deleting an email in Mail

Checking our email is something that many users do many times throughout the day. Deleting (or archiving) an email in iOS is easy, too easy, since it is only necessary that we touch the trash icon, which can sometimes cause let's delete an email that we actually wanted to keep. If we want to avoid an unpleasant surprise, it might be a good idea to activate a option that will make you ask us if we want to delete (or archive) a message before performing the action. Like many other functions or features in iOS, it is a very simple process, but you have to know that it exists to be able to do it, logically. To do this, you only have to carry out the following steps.

How to ask us before deleting an email in Mail

1. We open the Settings from our iPhone, iPod or iPad.
2. Let Mail, contacts, calend.
3. We activate the option Ask when deleting. The change will be instantaneous.

It seems important to me to comment that we will only be consulted if we want to delete the mail yes we touch on the trash icon. In iOS 9 we can delete the emails by sliding to the left doing a long tour. If we do it this way, the mail will be deleted without consulting us and without any kind of notice. This option is supposed to be to avoid accidents and it is also assumed that if we do the full gesture of swiping to the left, we do it on purpose, so the system understands that it is not an accident and performs the action directly.

In my opinion, this option should be enabled by default for more security. We should be the users who have more control over these things that we deactivate "Ask when deleting" if we wish. Apple may leave it disabled for convenience, but security is always better than convenience.
