Put these message into the trash folder. The <del> key is convenient
for this.

Move these messages into another folder, caled "maybe trash", which
will "keep messages for xx days". Use a filter which you invoke with
the short-cut key; for example hit <F11>. As simple as hitting <del>,
isn't it.

If you close TB every day, "purge on exit" is fine for the trash
folder. If not, hit "empty trash" on a daily basis.

See above. Does that help you?
