Default Question with Message Rules

I'm trying to set up a certain Message Rule, but can't get it to do what I'd
like. Normally, I keep all of my mail on the server. However, whenever I
get "junk mail" in Outlook Express, I'd like to automatically delete it from
the server, as well. I've created plenty of Message Rules, so I know how
they work. I created a rule that uses the "Delete from server" action,
based on specific criteria of what I consider "junk mail". And that part
works.

In other words, whenever a message arrives that matches my "junk mail"
criteria, it does get deleted from my mail server. HOWEVER... I do NOT
receive the mail in Outlook Express! It's just "gone". It appears that
"Delete from server" also seems to imply "And don't deliver to my Inbox".
But that's exactly what I *want* it to do. I'd like the mail delivered to
my OE Inbox, AND deleted from the server.

I even tried to create two separate Message Rules, using the same selection
criteria. The first says "for any matches, Copy this message to a folder
called Test". A second, and totally separate, Message Rule says "for any
matches, Delete from server". And still, even in this case, the message
does get deleted from the server, but it does NOT end up in the Test folder.
It's just gone.

Any suggestions on how to do both of these -- keep the message in OE *and*
delete it from the server???
