Description
Currently after the deletion of every Mail I am asked if I really want to delete that mail. This gets annoying really fast, especially when deleting a mail from the notification bar (which is supposed to be quick).
Much better would be to use undo instead of the confirmation. See also this related article by former Firefox design lead Aza Raskin: http://alistapart.com/article/neveruseawarning

Research direction
Start by locating the mail deletion flow and the deletion entry point used from the notification bar. Review how confirmation is currently triggered and determine how an undo action should cover the same deletion paths. Done means deletion no longer requires confirmation and users can undo it.
