This question has plagued me for 10 years. The only reliable method I’ve found is to ultimately Quit and re-start Mail, which forces a clearance.
In the meantime, what my method is is…
1. Make two mailboxes, ‘* items to shift’, ‘*items to store’.
2. Make a mail rule for your inbox that shifts ALL incoming mail to mailbox ‘* items to shift’.
3. Your script, when starting, shifts all the mail in ‘* items to shift’ to ‘* items' to store, and counts it when finished.
4. When you deal with a mail item from ‘* items to store’, move the treated mail, and in a loop, keep counting the mail in ‘* items to store’.
5. If after a set time, the count does not diminish by 1, then quit and re-start Mail.
6. Re-count the mail in ‘* items to store’.
7. Once the count reaches zero, move any new mail from ‘* items to shift’ to ‘* items to store’.
8. Re-do the cycle if count is not zero, otherwise periodically re-check for new mail, and shift it, and re-cycle.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Santa
