This works for me ( in .muttrc).

# poor mans trash
folder-hook . 'macro index d "<save-message>=trash<enter>"'
folder-hook =trash 'macro index d <delete-message>'

I'm no expert, but apparently the first line puts everything in the "trash"
folder when you delete from to current folder (.).
The second line allows you to actually _delete_ stuff when you delete from
the trash folder.
(I forgot where I got this -- I certainly didn't invent it myself.)
