Well - but it has to be that way - since the filter rule to delete the
messages from the server is a "Read" filter - so it should activate
when I read the messages, which inherently happens after the messages
come in and are sorted into their respective folders.
Thus my question - is there a way to have a Read filter which will act
on messages in all folders - as opposed to what it looks like I'd have
to do now - which is to make a Read filter for every folder that mail
gets filtered into.

This would work if my server delete rule would be an Incoming Mail
filter - but that would basically get it back to the behavior I get
now - where as soon as I get mail, it is deleted from the server.
Instead I want it deleted from the server after I read it.
Thanks very much for your response.
