the preferred way to delete a message is to use a "Trash" folder.
On deletion the message gets moved there. You can auto-expire
messages in the trash after XX days.

This is especially important if you plan to use ActiveSync with Apple devices:
Delete on the device works with a Trash folder only.
(I had to learn the hard way...)

You can press SHIFT+DELETE, that will delete
the message and move to the next.

Though I wish this would be configurable as the default:)
