As far as I recall, Eudora has the required functionality - the option of
'mark for deletion' or 'move to specified folder', the folder being either
local or on the IMAP store.

This does, of course, require configuration of each client. Easy if you have
MS SMS, a server based distribution or the like.

Another alternative would be to create your own web-based client. Easily
achievable with PHP and the like.

Failing that, user education is always an option.

And wait... the POP solution is BETTER? I'm glad you backup all the client
data... but isn't that duplication? *slap*
