I was reading other users' reports of this issue and the responses they got.
Essentially what they were told was that it can't be done--Outlook marks them
with a strikethrough (to be deleted).

However, I created a fresh email account on my same server using the same
email server. When I loaded this email into Outlook, it performed exactly as
I expect it to: hitting "delete" puts a copy into "Trash" and marks it to be
deleted. So I know that this is possible. I just don't know how. I've
probably spent about 40 hours trying to figure this out. Help, anybody?
