Hotkey for moving messages from inbox to archive in Outlook

Question

I'd like to configure a hotkey, in MS Outlook, which does the following to the highlighted/selected messages:

• Mark as read (by default it's [crtl]+Q)
• Move to an "archive" folder (archive meaning a folder other than the default inbox)

This should happen whenever I press [crtl]+M (assuming it is not already reserved), on any amount of messages I select.

I currently use Outlook 2007.

Answer 1

It might be difficult to assign a Hotkey to a Macro in Outlook, but you can add the Macro as a button in the toolbars.
