Simplify the deletion of Mail's junk mail

Or, you could just turn on automatic deletion of junk mail in the preferences. Or, you could use this Applescript:
tell application "Mail"
    delete messages of junk mailbox
end tell
You could once assign keyboard shortcuts to scripts, but I can't seem to make it work anymore, so you'd have to use the scripts menu.

But Rob said he checks for any non-junk messages first.

So go to Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors and set "Erase messages in the junk mailbox when" to "One week old."

As long as you check your junk mailbox at least once a week for valid messages, your junk mailbox stays nice and clean with just one week's worth of junk mail.

You could change that to "One month old" or "One day old" if you desire more or less time to validate, respectively.

I've been doing this for ages. Works quite well for me.

Sorry, I should have mentioned the options in the original post.
