I’m a BES user. First, I’ve set up sync so Exchange always wins (deletes from the bbry don’t propagate to Exchange).

Rather than delete from my bbry, I have a folder called “don’t keep”. I hit the letter ‘i’ and drop into the don’t keep folder.

The message is then out of my way both on my bbry and in Outlook, but sticks around until my company’s automatic purge. (That’s not a folder I archive.)

Since this is my default mode for delete, recovering is as simple as changing to the “don’t keep” folder.

Essentially I’ve re-created the “trash can” idea.

Now if I could just find some kind of blackberry macro software that would allow me to change the behavior of the delete key. If my delete key behavior instead moved messages to this folder for me, the solution would be exactly what the author wanted.

For text messages, I have been using TxtForward to forward my text messages and responses to an email account. It works great, especially when forwarded to a Gmail account. Gmail automatically threads the SMS conversation. For email, I wish there were an easier method but I’ve resorted to setting my Blackberry to not delete off the server, only on the handheld. Sure, it fills up my email server store but it forces me to review and clean out my mail account once a month.

@Norman
That is what I am doing now but it is in no way ideal. I just want my Undo button

Well I reckon you should opted delete on handheld, so incase you accidentally deleted the email, you could, at the least open your mail account via web and retrieve it.

That applies to BES only.

Don’t know if it is possible with the APIs provided by RIM…! But I love to see more DreamBerry Blog Posts

Does that dream include the retrieval of text messages too? I’ve accidentally deleted a few that had information I needed in them. I was able to get the sender to resend them, but I’d rather not have to admit I accidentally erased it in the first place.
