When users delete mail, I want it to be moved to Trash.

No.  This is not a client-side problem.  Cyrus has removed my control
over my data.  I want it back.

I understand that I can do this, but it will only work by side-effect.
Ie. it will only work because most of the clients move the mail to the
Trash folder when you hit delete.  Some don't, however, and I would like
not to loose sleep over them.  (Figuratively speaking, of course.)

They will if their clients try to delete it and they get an error
message saying they can't.  That's why I'd like Cyrus to fool them, so
to speak.

In which case I would have to rely on them to actually move the mail
instead of delete it?  No, I cannot do that.
