Really? Sure? Icedove gives me THREE choices, move, mark as deleted, or 
delete immediately. I thought the codebase was the same for thunderbird 
and icedove?

With the middle choice (Just mark as deleted) I get a red cross over 
deleted messages, and they stay around until I "compact" the mailbox. 
The "just mark as deleted" might depend on dovecot announcing that 
capability, I have not checked. It IS available with dovecot using 
Maildir storage, under all icedove versions since I can remember.

Check your mail-client and see. Under "account settings" -> "server 
settings".
