<p dir="auto">A while back I've noticed that the <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Messaging_API_proposal" rel="nofollow">Messaging API</a> allows to retrieve deleted messages via the API (<code class="notranslate">GET /api/0.6/user/messages/_nnn_</code>). This seems to be inconsistent to how our UI works, where deleted messages are no longer shown.</p>
<p dir="auto">We also don't have a concept of a Trash folder where deleted messages would be moved to and automatically (physically) deleted after some time, with the option for users to trigger a physical deletion at any time.</p>
<p dir="auto">The Messaging API requirements section doesn't seem to cover the topic in sufficient detail. What would be a sensible approach?</p>
