How/where does "Edit > Undelete Message, mapped to Ctrl+Z" 'exist'? That 
  option doesn't appear in the Edit menu (not even after deleting a 
message) in my SM 2.49.5; that's one of the reasons I never thought that 
"Delete" was/should be the same as "Move to 'Trash'" (never mind WHICH 
'Trash' it might be.

It always seemed weird that there IS an option to "Undo move message", 
but not one to "Undo delete message" (or a pop-up asking for 
confirmation, at least).

If the deleted message was in the IMAP 'inbox' folder, sure, I knew I 
could find it in the IMAP's 'Trash', and restore (copy/move) it to its 
original folder; I just never made the connection to the local 
equivalent (due to 'shortness of vision', as I admitted).

And, yes, I do prefer "Move To (the original message folder)" instead of 
D'n'D, since it seems easy to 'misdrop', even with a good mouse.
