Tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance has an option to "empty the deleted
items on exit". You do NOT want to check that, as then you won't be able to
recover the messages if you accidentally delete the folders. If you go to
View | Layout and enable the folder bar and not the folder list, then its
much more difficult to delete a folder.
