When the view limit is set to !~D, deleted message are present, but not
visible in the index view. Unforunately, the limit is only applied when
you set a limit, not continuously, so you need to re-apply the limit
with each deletion.

        macro index d "<delete-message><limit>!~D<enter>"

You'll still need to sync-mailbox ($) to remove them from the folder,
but using limit is much faster than synchronizing after each delete.


I like my deleted messages to fade away, too, but using a limit is a
little more trouble than I want (I can't really use other limits this
way) and I sometimes want to find messages marked for deletion again
before I sync. So I just use colors, instead.

        color index brightblack default "~D"

My terminal background color and my "brightblack" are similar colors, so
deleted messages take extra effort to find -- they effectively vanish
from casual view, while remaining present if I really want to find them.
