Hi,

I was just wondering if there was any way of sending multiple emails to junk, rather than just one at a time..

If not, i want to crate a macro or something that allows me to select multiple emails and click 'shift + del' to send emails to the junk folder, and simply 'del' on its own, to delete them to the deleted items folder, as default. Could someone please point me in the right direction on how to write / code / create this..

Cheers
 
Hold down the CTRL key and select the emails you want to get rid of.
 
yeah i know but then there is no option to send those emails to the junk folder, you can only do it one at a time. i would like to be able to send multiple emails to junk

Cheers
 
I just did it in Outlook 2000. After you selected all the email you want to move release the CTRL key. Right click (make sure the mouse stays over one of the emails) and move to the folder of your choice.
 
Does sending the emails to the junk folder in that way, still filter the email addresses to the Blocked Senders List, or does it simply just move the emails to that folder. I want to be able to exactly as the 'Junk Email >> Add Sender to Blocked Senders List' does when you right click a single email..

Cheers
 
Block Senders List" is not very effective for spam since spammers don't reuse the same "From" address. (It might be useful as a ex-girlfriend filter). A far more effective way to filter spam is a free plugin called SpamBayes. You should be able to Google it and find a download site.
