We stopped wondering about that about two weeks ago, if you look
through the messages -- oh sorry! of course you can't search for
strings either in Mail.app.
In Eudora I can search 160 megabytes of mail for an string or regular
expression or multiple string and res and have a summary window
listing all the messages containing that string appear in about four
seconds. That's what distinguishes a class mail user agent from a
useless toy.
To answer your question, a way suggested my Michle is to "set the
mailbox" of the messages. So far as I can see you can only work on
one message at a time and it takes about ONE SECOND to move a single
message, but here you are if you really want to prolong your
suffering. Try selecting 20 messages and run this script. If that
doesn't send you howling to Eudora, I don't know what will :-)

Mail.app really sucks !
----set t to (the ticks)
tell application "Mail"
activate
set _list to get the selected messages in the last message viewer
(* beware! {} is not the empty list in Mail.crap *)
repeat with m in _list
set mailbox of m to mailbox "deleted messages"
end repeat
end tell
-----(the ticks) - t
--> 1285 / 60 = 21 SECONDS !
