First, I make sure that deletion goes to the IMAP server's trash, not to 
local.  Then I put a 30 day expiry in kmail on all messages over 30 days but 
not flagged Important.  That moves them to the server's Trash.  I have a 60 
day expiry on the trash.  If I haven't needed it by then I'm pretty certain I 
won't need it at all :-)

There have been times, just a few, when I couldn't find the message I wanted 
to refer back to, and have found them in the Trash folder.  Belt, 
braces/suspenders and a bit of string :-)
