Is it possible to re-enable a prompt in Outlook when deleting an email from Inbox?

0

I have a Windows 7 machine and I used to get a prompt in Outlook 2010 whenever I deleted an email from Inbox. It was "Are you sure you want to delete this email?". But I accidentally hit "Do not show this in future" checkbox and now I have went through almost all the settings that I can think of but I cannot find where to re-enable this setting from.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Normally, if you delete an item and move it from Inbox to Deleted folder, we may not see the confirmation dialog. If we permanently delete a message or delete one from Deleted folder, we will get the confirmation.

To re-enable it, please go to File > Options > Advanced. Under Other section, select the option “Prompt for confirmation before permanently deleting items.

I did that already but I was wondering if there was a way to restore a prompt when we delete an email FROM Inbox. – Dhrumit Patel – 2019-02-01T18:51:07.587

If you delete a message, we may not see the confirmation dialog. If you accidentally delete an email, you can simply move it from Deleted folder back to Inbox. – Perry – 2019-02-04T07:31:16.830
