macro index d "<save-message>=trash<enter>"
macro pager d "<save-message>=trash<enter>"
This will always save the message to the folder "=trash" whenever you
"delete" it, and mark it for deletion from the current folder. You have
to clean up =trash yourself when you want it, possibly from the command
line manually, or from a crontab entry for periodic execution.
There's unfortunately no way to create a similar macro for D
(the delete-pattern function). But ;d (tag-prefix followed by d)
will work, for "deleting" tagged messages in this way.
Hope this helps,
