You're damn right it's clumsy and slow; I'd much prefer to just hit cmd-
Z!  After all, the whole purpose of Undo is to be able to revoke an
action which you did not have the foresight to avoid. :)

Why would you suspect that?  I realise that PM is not written in Cocoa,
but if it were, it would take about 2 lines of code to add the support. 
I imagine that it would not be particularly more cumbersome to add in any
case.  (After all, the theory is simple; action: "move $message from
$message's $folder to trash"; undo: "move $message to $folder")
