I'm forced to use netscape mail at work and their scheme is pretty good.  Just
a triple radio button (for imap anyway) with the choices "move to trash
folder" (to be expunged when "empty trash" is selected), mark as deleted (to
be removed on expunge ("compact folder" in netscapespeak) and remove
immediately.

Options such as these would be IMHO a good variety of ways to deal with
deleting that should satisify the majority of users out there.
