[SPAM] Easily mark messages as junk

Neil asks:

Hey Joel,
Would it be pos­si­ble to set up another key (spam) that we can
click on and the checked items, or the item we are read­ing
and they go into the spam folder, prob­a­bly along the top with
the, Expunge,Read, etc. Might be a lit­tle eas­ier for some
folx ?.…Thanx/Neil

Yeah, def­i­nitely! I briefly men­tioned the key­board short­cut in a pre­vi­ous post. Using Apple+Shift+J you can mark the selected mes­sage as junk. There’s another way too.

From within Mail Right-Click or Ctrl+Click on the tool­bar at the top of your mail win­dow.
Select Cus­tomize Tool­bar… This brings up a panel full of but­tons that you can add or remove from your tool­bar. Find the Junk Mail but­ton, click-and-hold on it. Then drag it up into the tool­bar. When you’re all set click Done. Now you can use the tool­bar but­ton to mark mes­sages as junk.
