I need to send ALL emails to Junk unless the sender is in my address book. This seems so obviously needed that I was sure it's there, but I can't see a way of doing it.

Thank you that solved the problem. I somehow didn't see that setting at the bottom of the drop down list. I only wish this feature was avaiable on a client on the apple phone. If anyone knows of an app that offers this feature for the apple device, please let me know.
