How to get WARNED before moving or deleting Outlook folders

CodeTwo Move and Delete Watchdog is a Microsoft Outlook add-in that prevents accidental data loss from deleting Outlook files and folders. We will take a look at it in this post.

Get warned before moving or deleting Outlook folders

One of the most annoying things in Outlook is its scroll bar. How often has it happened that you accidentally deleted an essential folder or changed its original location? For instance, you want to scroll down the navigation pane but somehow you miss the scroll bar and unknowingly grab one Outlook folder and move it to the other folder.

A similar case may be encountered when deleting a file from folder. Here, you might delete an entire folder accidentally. You think you are removing a non-essential file (Outlook recognizes it as a folder) and hit the ‘Delete’ button. When asked to confirm the action, you do not bother to read it and simply click ‘Yes’. Shortly thereafter, you end up losing valuable information.

If you want to avoid such situations, look no further: try Code Two Move and Delete Watchdog.

Code Two Move and Delete Watchdog is a free tool and an Outlook add-in that prevents you from accidentally moving or deleting Outlook folders.
