First. Don't save it as an application. There isn't any reason to do
this. Just save it as a compiled script. This may fix the problem.
Here is some code that will also do what you want.
tell application "PowerMail"
set AllMessages to every message in message container "mail trash"
repeat with i from 1 to (count of AllMessages)
set tmp_Message to item i of AllMessages
delete tmp_Message
end repeat
end tell
Just make sure you setup your crontab properly it should look something
like this:
30 15 */3 * * osascript /Users/admin/deleteMessages
This would run the script every 3 days at 3:30 PM
