I'm trying to create an Automator workflow that will first isolate all of the forum notifications from MacNN. It looks like this:



It "thinks" a good while then stops but doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Here's an update (it's too big to post an image) that actually works (sort of):
  1. Find Accounts in Mail (Name is equal to "Personal"
  2. Filter Mailboxes in Mail (Filter: Mailboxes, Account is "Personal"
  3. Filter Messages in Mail (Sender contains "admin@macnn.com", Read Status Is "True")
  4. Display Mail Message
  5. Pause 2 Seconds
  6. Run AppleScript:
    tell application "Mail"
    move visible messages in message viewer 1 to mailbox "Trash"
    end tell
This works, but it's mighty damned slow and I'm not yet sure how and when to trigger the workflow.
