I don't use this plugin so not sure if this will work, but anyway try to configure it only to mark the junk messages and not move them to Trash but leave them in the Inbox.
Then create a filter triggered by the plugin mark that moves marked messages to Trash and deletes them from server.

Another thing to try is to set the Trash folder settings as follows:
-max. number of stored messages - 0
-keep in base for 0 days
(you have to activate these options)
and in the account propeties - mail management - set 'remove messages from server when removed from the trash'.
This way on every connection all except the last spams should get deleted from server.
But that's risky as you'll loose emails falsely recognized as spam.

But imo the best way to fight spam is at the server. I have set mine to move suspected spam to a separate server folder which I check via webmail from time to time.

I am using the AGAVA spam filter with its plug-in for The Bat!  All is good, except for one thing: I cannot see an obvious way to automatically delete Junk mail from the server.  

This is easy to do by other means (e.g. tag spam using something like SpamPal, and then create a Sorting Office filter).  But I like the feature set of the AGAVA filter and plug-in, if I can just figure out how to delete the messages that it moves to the Junk folder off the server.  

By default, I have The Bat! set to let all mail age on the mail servers for several days, for safety in case of data loss on the client side.  The only exception that I want to make is for Junk, which I want to delete ASAP after flagging.  Otherwise the Junk messages show up on my Blackberry, where I am charged by the KB for the data I receive.

I tried setting up a Sorting Office filter that would be triggered by all messages in a selected Junk folder to perform the 'delete from server' action, with Scheduler set up to trigger that filter, but I could not get it to work ... nothing got deleted from the server no matter what variations on the filter and scheduler settings I tried.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

David
