Default How to flag emails as spam all at once in Outlook 2003?

Hi all,

Recently I got a lot spam emails... I can only click on each email, and then
send each one individually to "spam email" folder in Outlook 2003
separately...

How can I select them all and send them all at once into "spam email" folder
in one click?

There must be some way of doing this: Outlook 2003 should not be so
stupid...

Outlook 2003 has some of the BEST built in spam filtering known.
You've set something very very wrong.

And you want to send them to Deleted Items, I'd think.

Highlight one email message. Then press "control A". This will highlight all
the messages. Then right click on the highlighted area and move them
wherever you want.

No, this way the spam filter in outlook 2003 won't learn that they are all
spams...(in order for it to learn, I have to select, then right-click, then
choose "add sender to block list...", something like that..., however, this
step doesn't allow multiple emails all at once...) and wont' delete them
automatically next time they come...

I agree that it shouldn't be so stupid, but I think this is normal/default
behavior and cannot be changed. You have to right-click / junk e-mail,
yaddayaddayadda, on each one individually. There are third party antispam
products out there you might want to use - google SpamBayes.
