If you want to restrict someone, it must not be default case, but optional.
First of all you can easily edit mailbox via any text editor in any case,
I don't see a point to disable it _inside_elm_. Moreover, I was recently
hitted by missing of this function dealing with semi-correct attachment
with unknown charset, only way to fix it was mailbox editing. I think
disabling mailbox editing not gain mailbox integrity but really stop
experienced users.
