Undo Option in Apple's Mail Apps

It drives me crazy whenever I accidentally delete an email using my iPhone.
Apple's Mail Apps for iOS devices makes it easy to delete unwanted mail. It also makes it easy to delete mail you intend to keep. To minimize the problem, they give you an option to turn on confirmations before deleting emails, but slows you down.
If you accidentally delete an email, you can still get it back, but it's a real pain in the neck. Assuming you have multiple InBoxes turned on, you first need to determine which mailbox it was deleted from. Then, you need to drill down to that particular mailbox and go to it's trash folder. Once you find the mail, you can move it back to the InBox.
If you ask me, that's way too many steps to undo something that you did in a split second. An easier approach would be to do what Google does inside Gmail, which is offer an UnDo option right after you delete something.
Technically, they could go one step even further, which is to have an UnDo folder, which can show you the last 10 or more deletions, so you can undo multiple items.
