The trashcan button and the `Message -> Move to Trash' menu item both 
still move the message to the trash folder, as they always have. If you 
check `Hide deleted messages' as well, messages will disappear from a 
folder when you move them to any other folder, including the trash, 
also as they always have.

However, moving a message anywhere has always left a copy of it in the 
original folder, flagged as `deleted', which isn't actually removed 
until the mailbox changes are committed, for instance by closing it. 
You now have the option to *uncheck* `Hide deleted messages', in which 
case you will see those instances, giving you the further option to 
undelete them.

The intent is to give you more flexibility in managing the deletion of 
messages, not to take away any existing functionality!
