I have been using this setup for over a year, and it works great:
## Delete messages to the trash can rather than bit-bucket, unless
## we're in the trash folder.
folder-hook . macro index d "<save-message>=trash<enter>"
folder-hook . macro pager d "<save-message>=trash<enter>"
folder-hook . macro pager D "<delete-message>"
folder-hook trash macro index d "<delete-message>"
folder-hook trash macro pager d "<delete-message>"
# When we go into to the trash folder, tag stuff greater than 14
# days old. Don't mark anything that's already flagged, though.
folder-hook trash push 'D~r>14d!~F\n'
Thus, in all folders except trash, 'd' moves the message to the trash
folder, and 'D' deletes it for real, when I'm viewing the message (in
the index, 'D' still maps to delete-pattern). Every few days or so, I
go into the trash folder to clean it out (I save 2 weeks worth of
trash). Hope that's helpful.
