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
