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

Okay, I think you're trying to solve the problem the wrong way.  If you
need a record of every email that has ever passed through your company,
can't you just have the MTA save a record of it without inconveinencing
your users with managing their mail how they see fit?

For example, you could have *every* message to pass through your MX or
SMTP servers get posted to a shared folder (where shared == "very
restricted access"), or saved to a separate spool file entire, or written
out to a CDR device, or wherever else.

This doesn't sound like a problem that Cyrus can or even should try to
solve.
