Now, in 10.6, I can jump to a path using a...

I have multiple mail accounts and folders set up in Mail, including the Junk folder. I found that after deleting mail from the Junk folder, and from multiple different accounts’ inboxes, that when I went to the Trash and selected all items and pressed the Delete key, only some of the items would be deleted — I would have to “select...
