Thanks bwthor! Works with 5.2 on Lion 10.7.3

Cool, thanks for the tweak. I'm not sure why this didn't come up in my numerous Google searches to change this behavior pre-2012, but I had given up on it until this popped up in my Subscriptions folder.
I'm not sure, but it looks like this issue was addressed with the latest Mail that came out with Mountain Lion. Anyone else notice it?
Were you born a Jerk or did you have to work at it
1. I agree with the gentleman-the way the mac mail handles deletions is inefficient and illogical.
2. Unlike you, my time and I guess his time are valuable so we would rather have a more efficient program especially when dealing with many emails-and less do I want to get and learn another program. Again, you have much time on your hands but I don't.
3. You have a problem with him expressing an opinion? Or, is that internet jargon for "saying something which is not factual"? and therefore of no moment?
4. Do you really think whether something is logical or not is subjective? I guess you don't know what that means.
Anyway, it has been nice kicking your ass.

No, in my case it reverted back the annoying way and the terminal command does not appear to work any more.
One thing I've liked about Apple was their concern for usability -- is seems that is no longer a concern of theirs... sad
fix worked for me
If it didn't work for you try:
Close Mac Mail; open terminal (applications-utilities-terminal as posted above); paste the string as posted; hit the return key; close terminal; reopen Mac Mail.
Thank you to the original poster and thanks to those who posted the solutions plus specific instructions.
As to the cretin who had nothing to add: you have a personality disorder; seek help. Or, perhaps you are simply very young and you'll age out of your anti-social behavior. Either way - go away if you have nothing helpful to add.

Terminal Command Doesn't Work on Inbox - Only Trash & Junk
Thank you so much for this - I'm losing my mind though. The terminal command only works on mail in my Junk & Trash folders, but NOT on mail in any of the accounts in my Inbox.
Does ANYONE have any idea why this would be or what I can do to fix it?
Any response much appreciated.

Thank you (don't forget to close & reopen mail)
Awesome, thank you! For those of us who (at first) thought it didn't work, don't forget one needs to close, exit, then reopen their email before this gets loaded into the program (it looked like it didn't work, but I had left email open.
BUT this is tremendous, thank you again!
