You could verify that 'is deleted' is set to false. Right now, asking
a mailbox for all its messages includes deleted messages that have not
yet been purged. We consider this a bug to be fixed.

I'm trying to write a script for Mail 1.2 that will move messages
flagged as "is junk mail" from the inbox to a special mailbox. In a
loop I go after the first message in the mailbox whose is junk mail
is true and set its mailbox property to the name of the destination
mailbox. The problem is that after this command is executed Mail
still thinks the message is in the original mailbox, not the new one.
On the next iteration it finds the same message as the first first
piece of junk mail. It continues to do so for about 30 seconds until
Mail catches up with itself and realizes that the message has been
moved. Is there any way to force Mail to recognize that the message
has been moved?
I don't think that addresses the problem, as there are no unpurged
deleted messages in the mailbox and I'm not setting the "is deleted"
flag of the messages flagged as "is junk mail". I'm changing their
mailbox properties to move them to a different mailbox. Earlier
experimentation showed that you can't move messages from mailbox to
mailbox with the "move" command but it is possible by setting the
mailbox property. The problem seems to be that Mail doesn't recognize
the move until at least 30 seconds after the mailbox property is set.
Is there a way to force Mail to recognize the move as soon as the
property is set for a different mailbox?
