The problem is that these apps SHOULD have a setting for WHEN to delete the email from the server. If you set it to delete on sync, rather than instantly, then you have a window in which to move the message back to the inbox. The server will never know you deleted it.

This common setting on Windows phones (even years-old ones) seems to be missing from Android email apps.

If you know of an email app that deletes on sync rather than immediately, please let us know.
