Button for MoveToJunkFolder

[Scott]

Hi,

First of all, it's Outlook 2003 on Windows XP.

I'd like to configure Outlook such that I can:

1. Select a message(s) and, with a single click of a toolbar button, move
the message to the Junk E-mail folder, and mark those messages read.
2. (Less Important) RMB on the message from within the Inbox window, see
the choice "Move To Junk E-mail folder" in the dropdown menu, and do #1
above.

IOW, I'm asking how to 1) extend the toolbar buttons and 2) extend the
dropdown menu.

I'm thinking for #1, I could write a macro that would take the selected
message(s) and move to the Junk E-mail Folder. Then I could add the macro
invocation as a button on a toolbar. Problem is, I'm not clued up on Visual
Basic. So, if you could post the code to move a message(s) to a specific
folder, that would be much appreciated.

I guess another question would be why this functionality isn't built in to
Outlook 2003. Mozilla Thunderbird does this better than Outlook and it's
OOTB.

Regards,
Scott

step-by-step instructions.

Thanks Bill.

From here:
http://office.microsoft.com/trainin...ID=RP010114651033&CTT=6&Origin=RC010036361033 I
deduce that I cannot do #2 below.

I knew most of the bits about customizing the toolbars. To distill my
problem to the bare essentials, I don't know how to create the macro. If
someone has a macro that moves all selected messages to a particular folder,
could you please post the code?

Regards,
Scott
