Its not in the protocol specification. But its easy and minimal. The email client, is caching your inbox, and once you *delete* a message from the server, the cached copy is moved to the trash. Which is a folder on the client.
To move the message back, you would need to create a new message with the old message content. Which... if you need to .. then you may be able to edit the trashed email as new and resend it back to yourself.
But if you really need that type of functionality. You need to switch to IMAP.

I can't speak for the OP, but, I realize that a POP client does not interact with the server again for the same message after downloading it (except if you choose to delete after download)..
However, on every desktop POP client I've ever seen, you have the ability to MOVE files between folders, including the trash..
Not being able to move a deleted file from POP trash to some other folder (inbox or otherwise), is a flaw, IMHO.. YMMV
K-9 is still better than the native app...
