Except that you *don't* need it.

Set the account settings as I described in another post to this thread.
To clarify, either:

1. Set "When I delete a message" to be "Move it to Deleted", and also
set "Empty Deleted folder on Exit;

or

2. Set "When I delete a message" to be "Remove it immediately".

No need for an extra extension.

Note that the first of those two options is preferred, especially if you
have large folders, otherwise you will get performance hits every time
you move/delete messages from a folder.
