I'm not sure if it is default, but Claws Mail, like any GTK+ app, allows you
to set your custom keyboard shortcuts to any menu items.

The item you are looking for is "Delete" in main window's Message menu. Just
hover your mouse over that item, and press Shift+Delete.

You need to have hidden preference gtk_can_change_accels set to 1. You can
read more about hidden preferences here:

I don't know, maybe we should make this a default shortcut?
