Warning message on edit from Normal email account to Forward only.

    There is a scenario in the i-mscp interface that generate data loss when the user edit an email account from Normal & Normal + Forward to Forward type account. When the user hits the update button, imscp deletes all the emails in that account.

    I guess the solution could be a pop up warning message to explain that all the emails in that account will be deleted without any chances to recover them.

    That is an implementation detail that is discutable but not wrong ;):

    • A normal mail account mean a local mailbox. Mails will be stored locally.
    • A normal mail account + forward mail account mean that mails will be fowarded to other recipient(s) but also stored locally.
    • A forward mail account doesn''t involve a local mailbox, hence the deletion of the mailbox (if any) when switching to a forward only mail account.

    I think that I've already fixed the behavior in the 1.6.x branch to only remove mailboxes on account deletion, whatever the type. I'll check and backport the fix 1.5.4.

    Added the Label to be fixed

    I know, but the user can accidentally delete the emails... thing that actually happen.

    Thanks!
