I dare to say that most installations support users who want to access  
the same backend using multiple UIs.  Maybe I am wrong but I think  
most installations have normal GUI clients that want mobile access too.

Having a trash mailbox may be an answer but we normally don't define a  
trash folder on the server.  Normal IMAP style message mark for  
deletion and then purge deleted works.

If you require a Trash mailbox to fully support what I call undelete  
in the mobile view, then why not only provide a 'delete' button in  
mobile view IF the user has a Trash mailbox and has selected moving  
deleted messages to trash in their preferences.  This would solve the  
problem, all be it not what I would want.
