Prevent auto-creation of Deleted Records

[Bonapara]

Current Behavior

Deleting a Person/Company record that the email/calendar integration has automatically imported will result in it being reimported during the next import.

Desired Behavior

We should leverage the soft-delete feature to prevent the email from being imported again.

To prevent re-importing deleted records, follow these steps:

1. Modify Import Service: Update the import service to check for soft-deleted records before importing.

   File: services/importService.js

   const isSoftDeleted = await checkIfSoftDeleted(record);
   if (isSoftDeleted) {
     continue; // Skip re-importing
   }

2. Update Soft Delete Check: Implement the checkIfSoftDeleted function to verify if a record is soft-deleted.

   File: utils/softDeleteUtils.js

   async function checkIfSoftDeleted(record) {
     // Logic to check if the record is soft-deleted
     const deletedRecord = await db.find({ id: record.id, deleted: true });
     return !!deletedRecord;
   }

3. Adjust Listeners: Ensure listeners that trigger imports also respect the soft-delete status.

   File: listeners/importListeners.js

   import { checkIfSoftDeleted } from '../utils/softDeleteUtils';
   // Use checkIfSoftDeleted before processing import
