[...] As you might previously recall, I switched to GMail earlier this summer. I am now about 90% convinced that this was a mistake.

This worked relatively well, except that it took a ridiculously long time and some of the messages got corrupted, causing GMail to place them in a long, nonsensical conversation. [...]

I actually already have Greasemonkey installed, with the Secure GMail script, which I have just uninstalled after reading Jesse Ruderman's comments in favor of Mark Pilgrim's GMailSecure script.

I should write a script that add the delete key as a keyboard shortcut, but it is much easier to just complain to Google.

Also…

I know you use firefox.. you should give GreaseMonkey a try.

There are a whole bunch of scripts for gmail already - http://userscripts.com/tag/gmail, including a whole bunch that force gmail to use HTTPS.

You should have no trouble writing one to add the missing shortcut keys for deleting mail :)
