Is there an easy way to mark an inbox item as junk? Such as a toolbar click
for 'This is junk'.

Thanks for replying,

Norman Castel

Right-click the message, select Junk E-Mail, then Add Sender to Blocked
Senders List.

That is cumbersome and is what I am already doing. I want one click just as
there is a 'Not Junk' click in the 'Junk' folder.

Adding addresses to the Blocked Senders list is a very poor way, indeed, to
attempt to handle junk mail.

Not really. Outlook doesn't use any heuristics to learn what is spam other
than putting the address in your Blocked Senders list. If you mark a message
in your Junk Mail folder as Not Spam, Outlook either just moves the message
to your Inbox or, if you choose, also adds the sender's address to your Safe
Senders list. At any rate, you have two choices: Either write a macro that
moves the message to Junk Mail and assign the macro to a toolbar button, or
just drag and drop the message to Junk Mail (which is what I do).
