I keep marking messages from certain senders as Junk (I press the "J" key, and it sends those mssgs to my Junk folder). But I keep getting mssgs from those same senders in my inbox, day after day. When I mark a mssg as "J" I want ALL mssgs from that sender to be automatically sent to the Junk folder. Is that possible?

Thanks. OK, got it. Junk recognition is based on "look and feel" NOT the incoming email address, so it takes time for the adaptive system to parse junk from non-junk. I'll just keep pressing "J" until it wises up.

But you will also realize from the article that marking messages as junk is not sufficient. You must also mark many messages as not junk. And even then that might not be enough.
