Description

I was experimenting with queries from the New E-Mail window in tracker. I didn't realise I would overwrite the existing query (I thought a new Tracker window would launch, like when browsing).

The docs say that queries remain on the system for seven days before being removed: https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/queries.html

But this isn't 100% accurate. Because you can overwrite queries and they are gone in seconds.

Attached is a screenshot of my lost New E-mail query. For what it's worth. I would either update the documentation (either Queries or E-Mail) to include that important query, or I would make the query read-only in /boot/home/queries. That way, newbies like myself won't lose hours of time because we were experimenting.
