Yes and no. Over 20 years programming but 0 minutes programming Outlook.
But what you want to do is fairly easy. All macros that
you code in Outlook can be mapped to a custom button. And the code to move
an item basically involves:
- capturing the selection with the Explorer.Selection object
- setting a MAPIFolder reference to the desired folder by using the Folders
collection
- calling Item.Move to move the message
However, macros cannot be easily distributed to many users. See this page
for more info:

Ideally, you would need a professional developer to write the code as a COM
Add-In, which can be easily distributed with a setup package.
Thanks for the link. I should think that process to create the function
would be minimal, the distribution process a potential headache. I'd
not like to overwrite somebody's existing macros.
Good advice.
