Well, the problem might be that the "Delete Message Immediately"
AppleScript doesn't work as the name implies. This script will display a
dialog asking for confirmation before it deletes. IMO, this isn't what I
imagine when I think "immediate" so I created an AppleScript that deletes
messages without preamble.
Here is an example script if you want to try it.
tell application "PowerMail"
set the targetList to the current messages
repeat with targetMsg in the targetList
delete the targetMsg
end repeat
end tell
