I like the concept of the outlook junk mail function but it seems to
combersome. What I want is to delete the email completely out of my system
and block the sender from sending me anything else. I would like to just mark
it junk, click block sender. and let that be the end of it. But instead I
must go to the junk file and delete it again and then to the deleted file and
delete it a third time. Why are these last two steps necessary?
Thanks
Chuck

NOt necessary at all.

1. Adding senders to the blocked list is useless as they change sender
names/domains at random.
2. Right click on the Junk Mail folder and select empty. Bypasses the
deleted items.

For my personal preference, a 3rd party tool installed along side of
Outlook's junk mail filters works very well - SpamBayes, available from
Sourceforge.

Since SPAMmers change the sender nearly every time, this is impractical.

When you delete it from the Junk E-mail folder, hold down the Shift key when
you press Delete to permanently delete it.
