I do, that's controlled by the straight *Delete* key, but when you use 
it in conjunction with the *Ctrl* key it zaps them away to cyberland, 
never to be seen again.
Now... my server holds email for me until I upload it, so I'll see if I 
can get them to hold the email, instead of automatically deleting it 
after delivery to me, until I go to them and delete it there myself. A 
bit complicated, but probably worth it.
