Default Outlook 2007 - Junk Email Toolbar Button

I am migrating from Mac to PC and have noticed in Outlook 2007 that there is
no toolbar button to mark an email as junk. All the other email clients from
Microsoft (Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, Entourage) all have a button for
this purpose that marks an email as junk and moves it to the junk email
folder when so marked.

Am I missing something in the UI? Is there a way to do this other than
right-clicking on the email, adding it to the blocked senders list and then
manually deleting it or moving it to the junk email folder?


Helppppppppp

What Outlook has is the ability to add a sender address to the Blocked
Senders list, not mark a message as junk. Outlook's junk e-mail filter is
not trainable, so there is no "mark as junk" feature. To block a sender,
right-click the message header, choose Junk E-mailAdd to Blocked Senders
List.

However, this action is close to worthless, since spammers generally do not
reuse the sending address. It might be worth it to add the sending domain
to the Blocked Senders list, but only marginally.

Default Outlook 2007 - Junk Email Toolbar Button

Personally, I use SpamBayes (available from sourceforge.net) as my added spam filter. It is trainable and places a couple of nice buttons on your toolbar (spam, not spam). Since installing it about 3 years ago, I may get one or two pieces of spam that slip through each month. Otherwise, it is nearly perfect.
