Then, on the mailbox viewing, put a line through the message if the "Deleted" flag is set in the IMAP headers. I know Microsoft's Outlook Express does this, as well as Thunderbird.

Please no. I've never had a single client that liked the way that worked. I personally hate it. Thunderbird does not do that (at least not by default). Outlook Express doesn't either I don't think. Outlook is the only thing I've ever seen that does that by default. I would seriously not use roundcube if it did this. That's not a threat since I'm sure the devs could care less about what one user thinks in the grand scheme of things. I'm just letting the devs know how one of their users feels. They are free to tally the votes and make their own decisions.
