I find the Wrox series very informative. You can't miss them in the

Developer's Library brand are also good. A certain amount of tech speak

Click on the Trash icon in Shortcut or Folder bar, click within the
message list pane, CTRL-A to select all messages, then hit Del or right
click Delete.

Or you could set your filter to delete spam rather than send it to
