After two hours and searching on this forum fruitlessly, I finally figured out the way to get rid of the sent items without simultaneously deleting them in your Outlook sent items.

The solution is to build your own "Alt+O" type of view that the non-7100 blackberries have.

In Messages, click on Search and then define the search as simply all "sent messages". Name the search something like sent items, and assign it with an Alt+Key combination.

Now you can press your Alt+Key combination (like you used to press Alt+O) and use Delete Prior to get rid of those pesky sent items without deleting them from your Outlook.
