Configure drag and drop to confirm operation before copying

In "Local Folders", I am getting copies of my email account Inbox in many of my "Local Folder" sub-folders (eg. Local Folders..WeekendEvents..2018..Inbox). Somehow, I am occasionally dragging and dropping the inbox itself, instead of the message I am trying to move and save. Is there a configuration setting to confirm a folder copy - so it asks permission to copy a folder before performing the operation? Thank you! paul

Thank you. That's a good solution. I had it happen today, and was able to halt the operation successfully.
