You may have already done this.  Go to 
mail->preferences->accounts->edit [the account that is giving you a 
problem]->Advanced.  There you will find the options for when to delete 
mail from the server.  You can set it to remove immediately.  There is 
a button that says remove now, that I have never needed.  Maybe that 
will work for this problem account.  You also may be able to have your 
service provider empty your box for you.  Good luck.
