You are silently assuming that all of pine/alpine users were using IMAP. I was 
using pine, then alpine myself but I have never used IMAP in it, only local 
mailboxes. So there is still no 'millions of users' of an IMAP client (using 
IMAP service) that is using undelete capability (at least not for 'long 
undelete' - undeleting message that has been deleted few seconds ago can be 
resolved even with a simple delete delay (altough that would break 
atomicity...), and with real store +flags (\Deleted) each access to this 
mailbox with eg. Thunderbird would cause those \Deleted messages to be 
permanently lost)
