Removing Mail from Server

Hi,

I'm trying to see if I can have an AppleScript not only delete a message but also remove it from my server (Mail using POP account). I work from a number of different computers and I would like to not have to remove the same spam messages when I log in to each computer. I currently have our server store messages for 14 days after first downloading them because I do like to have a an actual copy of my real email on each computer. And Mail works great in understanding spam messages and moving them to my junk mail box. But unfortunately the only way I can see to delete them from the server is by 'Get Info' (Apple-I) which allows you to select messages and then click 'remove from server'.

It certainly seems that the only way to do that automatically within Mail is in the 'advanced account preferences' and either:

1) Have messages automatically deleted from the server after download (or a certain time frame)

2) After they are moved from the Inbox.

What I would really like is to have a 'rule' call an AppleScript (doable) and have that AppleScript remove the message from the server. (In fact I keep thinking that Apple will add that - delete from server - as a rule action but it never seems to happen.) In looking through the dictionary for Mail, I can't seem to find anything that would cover this action there either. Is that correct? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

John
