Reviving a very old thread here (that's what happens when you do a search first!!). Every time I "report spam" I think about how cumbersome it is to do so.

1. Check off the missed messages
2. Click "report spam"
3. Move to the Spam folder
4. Check off spam messages
5. Click Delete
6. Click empty trash

Here's something I've never said before, and will likely never say again, but AOL IS MORE EFFICIENT THAN RUNBOX AT REPORTING SPAM!!

In the otherwise-horrific AOL interface, all I do is check off the messages and click "Report as spam" and they are gone.

How often (anyone? anyone?) does someone really want to save the spam once they've reported it as spam. Having to chase it through folders like I do seems incredibly silly. Couldn't the "Report Spam" also permanently delete the messages as well? (you could make it optional so that more risk-averse users could still go through the 6-step process!)

And, per the origins of this thread, an "Empty" link on the spam folder would at least get it down to three steps . . .

Runbox folks?
