Inadvertently deleting emails

Honestly, I like the swipe left to delete option, but my problem is that I usually don't swipe far enough left, so it doesn't delete. If you look in settings under Mail Contacts Calendars there is a "Swipe Options" section. It doesn't look like you can disable delete, but it does give you some other options that might work better for you.

Also, if you do accidentally delete an email you can shake your device and it will ask if you want to undo the delete.

 

Swipe right.

 

I had the problem before until I realized that if you don't want to delete, swipe SHORT. Think of it like just brushing briefly on the screen. You don't want to see the actions before you lift your finger.
