Use Mail.app without performing pending operations
Authored by: tedw on Nov 29, '09 07:30:05AM

open the Script Editor application (/Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app), copy the script from the link (everything in red) into the editor, and save it. You can run it straight from the script editor, run it from the script menu or quicksilver or some such, or save it as an application and ad double-click it.

it will do everything for you. play with it a bit and you'll see how it works.

thnaks tedw, I've just tried what you wrote (opened the script editor, copy+paste the red text - your script, than I saved it and hit the "run"-button. All I get is: "AppleScript Error: Specified button does not exist" ... sorry, I feel really stupid - what is it that I'm doing wrong?

yeah, apparently that's an error in that guy's script (he wrote 'default button 3' when there are only two buttons). but try the script I just wrote, which deletes the file directly without turning hidden files on or off.
