Prevent moving folders accidentally by asking for confirmation!

About once a week, I find that I have somehow accidentally moved a folder while trying to put a message in the folder where it belongs. Usually the move places one folder inside another, making it difficult to find where it went. I don't understand how this happens; I've tried to be extremely careful with foldering messages, but it would be easily solved if I could turn on a CONFIRMATION request for any attempts to MOVE a FOLDER. Surely this is not something people do constantly on purpose? Please!!!

Okay, I added that on. I reckon I can just un-disable it if I need to do some intentional folder-shuffling. Thanks!

It's possible to enable a confirmation prompt:

Aha! That's EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks!! As long as it works as advertised, I consider the problem solved.
