In Outlook 2010 you can use Quick Steps to do this.

On the Home tab, click Create New in the Quick Step window.

enter image description here

Then name your step, choose Move to folder action, then choose the folder to move it to. At the bottom of the window you can assign a shortcut key.

enter image description here

Choose Finish. Your new step is now available in the Quick Steps window or using the shortcut key.

One way to achieve this is via Outlook "Quick Steps":

  1. In the 'Home' tab of the Ribbon of the main Outlook window, click the 'Manage Quick Steps' button in the 'Quick Steps' group:

Outlook snip

  1. Add a new 'Move to Folder' quick step. Choose a useful name; check the box for 'move to folder' and select the desired destination folder; and optionally check 'mark as read' if you always want messages marked as read when moved.

  2. Click 'Options'. In the 'Edit Quick Step' dialog that appears, in the 'Shortcut key' drop-down at the bottom choose one of the Ctrl+Shift+[number] key combinations to associate with the Quick Step.

  3. Click 'Save' and 'OK'.

Now, pressing the shortcut key you selected should move both (i) selected message(s) in a mailbox folder view and (ii) a currently open message to the selected folder.

        send m
        send v
