Thanks Barbara. That's how I set it at first for spam, but thought I
should check before I delete, since sometimes I am a bit too quick on the
draw with deletions... This does seem like the best way though to
maintain a clean view in RMW, since there is no way to easily mark as
read and remove from view. I am sure this can be done in AppleScript,
but I don't have the power. For now, this solution works just fine.
Thanks,
JG

Any way to select messages NOT to display in recent mail? I have a JUNK
folder where spam goes and would love to hide that from recent mail
views
Posted on Monday by Rick Lecoat:
One way of getting around even the slight chore of clicking the 'delete
read messages' button in the Recent Mail Window (RMW) is to move the
messages to the trash before moving them to their final destination, as
any message moved to trash is also removed from the RMW. I use this to
prevent list stuff (like this list) from cluttering up the RMW; the
filter that processes incoming list postings contains the action Move
message to Mail Trash followed immediately by Move message to folder PM
List.
With Spam sieve this would be slightly more complicated because all the
message processing is done by the Spam Sieve script rather than by
separate filter actions, but it shouldn't be too hard to add a line to
the SS Move Spam script that moves the message through the trash en-route
to its final resting place.

move-to-trash trick for preventing RMW clutter
