Allow multiple additions to Junk mail list at one time

[Guest]

Currently, my Outlook only allows me to add one email sender at a time to my
Junk mail list. As I get hundreds of Junk mail messages a day, I would like
to be able to highlight multiple messages, and add them all at one time to my
junk mail list.

Outlook version?

Hi Brian,

I am also encountering this problem. I am using Outlook 2003.

Well, in Outlook 2003, you can click Actions>Junk E-mail>Junk E-mail Options
and choose Import from File to import a list of senders you want blocked.
In Outlook 2002 and 2000, you can simply edit Junk Senders.txt with Notepad.

Hi Brian,

I'm using Outlook 2007 and am experiencing the same problem. If multiple
e-mails are selected then both the context menu and action menu options are
either deleted or dimmed as unavailable, respectively. For us the option to
import lists or add the entries manually lacks the simplicity of simply
adding the entries with one or two clicks! Furthermore, there may be no
pre-existing blocked sender's list to even import.

I have the same issue, but wasn't it the same with Outlook 2003. You can
choose multiples, and drag them to the junk mail folder, but it doesn't allow
you to add the names to the Blocked senders. ... M

And there is no need to add them either as Junk E-mail senders continuously
change the e-mail address; they are not being reused.

You can do this with any Outlook that has a Junk E-mail folder, but it
doesn't declare the messages you move to be junk. There's very little that
is special about that folder. There's no way to "teach" the Outlook Junk
E-mail filter.

With that logic, why even create a junk email button at all?

And there is no need to add them either as Junk E-mail senders continuously
change the e-mail address; they are not being reused.
