When I first tried to build my own .muttrc, I found this on the web,
which I still use:
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Deletion
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
macro index u "<undelete-pattern>~D\n" "Undelete all"
# This makes mutt behave a little more like some imap clients by
# moving messages to the Trash folder when they are deleted. Once
# in the Trash folder, D will purge the trash folder, and d will
# delete one at a time. Unfortunately, the delete-pattern macro
# doesn't save to Trash, so be warned.
folder-hook . 'macro index D "<delete-pattern>"'
folder-hook . 'macro index d "<save-message>=trash<enter>"'
folder-hook . 'macro pager d "<save-message>=trash<enter>"'
folder-hook =trash 'macro index D "<delete-pattern>~A\n"'
folder-hook =trash 'macro index d "<delete-message>"'
folder-hook =trash 'macro pager d "<delete-message>"'
