Automatic commits as an option, yes.  But not required.

There are really two different approaches to message deletion.  One is the
'mark deleted' followed by 'actually delete'.  The other is 'move to
trash' followed by 'empty trash'.

The first approach is the traditional one used in IMAP, so I think we
should support it at least for IMAP.  The second is more familiar to many
people, and we should definitely support that too.
