How about not marking messages as deleted? This will probably work more
or less equally well with most if not all MUA's. Many MUA's do assume
that if you mark a message as deleted you want nothing more to do with
it.

Might also avoid marking as spam, as some MUA's assume that you want
such messages to be treated as they had been deleted.
