Good idea. But remember that just deleting them from the inbox may not be sufficient. Be sure to look for an option that says something along the lines of: "Delete messages from server when emptied from trash." I don't use Apple, so I can't tell you for sure where it is or if you have that option. But try something like this:

Go to the 'Mail' menu, then 'Preferences', then choose 'Accounts' along the top bar. Choose your mail account, and then click the 'Mailbox behaviours' tab, and look at the bottom 'Trash' section. (The chances are that you have 'Move deleted messages to the Trash' not ticked and 'Store deleted messages on the server' ticked. Even if you are moving mail to Trash you should set an erase option.) You should see an option "Permanently erase deleted messages when".

If you can't find anything like that, then the messages might still reside from wherever server they were sent from. Like Gene says, it doesn't even appear to be the Paracast server. Hopefully this helps. Sorry if I stepped on any toes here. Just trying to help out.
