Prevent users from deleting mail

I'm looking for a way to prevent users from deleting mail, due to a bug in 8.4 which causes GDPR issues. I've looked in HAL source but since mail can only be deleted from the browse window and not the inspect window, the standard RecordRemoveTest does not apply and I cannot find any function which runs when deleting from the browse window.

Does anyone know how to do this please?

Hello Paul,

Sorry for delayed response. One way you could prevent users from deleting email is to block deleting of records in Access Groups setting. If this is not an option for you please let me know.

Best regards,

Hi David

Yes that's an option, although not a particularly good one as it then prevents deletion of any type of record. Is there no way to code HAL to prevent deletion of email records?

Hello Paul,

This is not possible with HAL as deleting records from browse window is coded directly in the engine.

Thanks David, that's what I thought. I'll tell the customer to manage it in another way.
