The answer is: In the user's /Library/Mail/Deleted Messages.mbox/
Messages folder.

Here in germany In the user's /Library/Mail/ is an other folder
which seems
build from the receiving server type and the username at this
server. so in
a short testsetup I've got a folder "email@hidden" in which
an folder
"inbox.mbox" and a second folder "Deleted Messages.mbox".
Similar situation here.
Messages deleted from an account mailbox are moved to the trash
belonging to that same account. This is located on disk within the
account directory - so its path might look something like:
~/Library/Mail/email@hidden/Deleted Messages.mbox/Messages/.
Deleting a message from a generic mailbox causes it to be moved to
'Trash/On My Mac' in Mail, the corresponding disk location of which is:
~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Deleted Messages.mbox/Messages/.
So there may be a number of folders containing deleted messages. To
locate them, you could try:
----------------
to locate_folder for mBox
tell application "Mail" to tell mBox
set n to name
set p to ".mbox/Messages/"
tell its account to if exists then
if account type is not pop then set p to ".imapmbox/Messages/"
return account directory & "/" & n & p as POSIX file as alias
end if
end tell
POSIX path of (path to library folder from user domain) & ¬
"Mail/Mailboxes/" & n & p as POSIX file as alias
end locate_folder
tell application "Mail" to set mBox_list to trash mailbox's mailboxes
repeat with mBox in mBox_list
set mBox's contents to my (locate_folder for mBox)
end repeat
mBox_list
----------------
