Wait, Craig; are you saying that it *is* possible if I edit gconf?

Similarly 'stuck' using POP3.  Deleting immediately has very little use for  
me and I'm surprised that the Delete key does that by default rather than  
moving the message to trash.  Similarly, I've never used "Toggle deleted".

At this point, I don't care at all what happens by default when I press the  
Delete key; I just want to be able to map the Delete key to "Move to  
trash"--frankly, I don't mind if I have to go a roundabout way to do it  
either.

Thanks,
