I have a desktop in a home office that is always on and retrieving e-mail. I also have an iBook w/Airport that I use to check e-mail while shuffling around the house. My problem is I'd like to save most, if not all, of the mail I receive on the desktop, but I'd like to be able to remove selected messages from the ISP server so that I don't need to wade through the ones I've already read when I check e-mail on the laptop...
So... ideally, I'd like to be able to do a script that I could activate from my Script Menu that would simply delete selected messages from server. I took a couple swipes at it, but I'm just shooting in the dark.
For what it's worth, this ...
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages
tell application "Mail"
repeat with selected messages in theMessages
delete mail on server
end repeat
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
doesn't work...
(Also, for what it's worth, you used to be able to do that in Outlook Express with a control-click, which would pop up a menu which included the option "Delete message from server")
