Regarding your undo feature: I know this is a long standing request in bugzilla. But interestingly, I (personally) never ever wished for such a thing. Since I have "deleted" mail visible [1], undoing this is like one click or keyboard shortcut away for me. (Also, this does not break threading or make sub-threads dance around, when starting deletion with the parent...)
On the other hand, I'd really like to have an unconditional delete knob. Most of my incoming mail is from mailing lists and server generated barf. Once read, it can really be trashed. But evolution not only caches the mail (imap, grrrrr) but then not even deletes it when I ask it to, polluting my harddisk, also giving strange phenomena because deleted messages are marked as such but actually left in the folder. Last but not least, some of the server generated messages may contain security sensitive information that I really don't want to have on my laptop once read. Now it's there twice, after deletion, 1 cached and 2 not really deleted. I really don't care what imap says ;-) If the only way to really delete a message is to mark it as such and then command the server to delete all marked messages, so be it. This way the problem of the parallel running evolution instances would also be solved. Of course this should be optional ;-)
