A script to delete DELETED0.TXT Mail.app messages
Authored by: hamarkus on May 03, '04 04:25:45AM
I had another idea, which did not work either, unfortunately. I wanted to use the Applescript to change the subject line of the mails in question and then use a second rule to delete the mail, since deleting it via a rule works, in the sense that the mail gets added the list of already downloaded mails.
 set the subject of eachMessage to "Junk" 
But for some reason the second rule is not invoked automatically, although I can invoke manually it by selecting the e-mail with the changed subject line in the inbox and choosing 'Apply rules' and it deletes the mail.

And by the way, the problem of Mail not deleting mails from the server seems to be a widespread problem in Panther, as I found out.
