Can't select multiple emails for junk folder

This is really annoying... On my other computer, when I have multiple emails
I want to add to the Blocked Senders list, I can use the control key and
select numerous emails at once and move them all to the blocked list. With
the new system and windows basic, I can only block one email at a time,
meaning I go through the same keystrokes 10-15 times every day! Grrr.
Any ideas how to enable global selection of junk emails?\

thanks
chuck

No you could not, previous Windows systems did not even have the Junk Mail
option.

You could select a number of messages and delete them all.

You can only add to the Blocked Sender list one by one.

Are you getting mixed up with a webmail application like gmail or Hotmail?

Re: Can't select multiple emails for junk folder

"On my other computer" is kinda nebulous. You are probably referring
to some proprietary web mail.

Windows Mail does not permit global selection of blocked senders.
Actually, this function should be used very judiciously if at all.
Spammers typically do not reuse their return addresses, so what is
the point in blocking a throw-away address forever? It just slows down
your email program.
