Windows Live Mail Does Not Block Email Classified As Junk

In Windows Live Mail (Win7) I keep getting email in my junk email folder that I have added to the blocked senders tab in Safety Options under Junk Mail. I have added both the domain name and the actual email address.

I googled this problem and the only solution was to go into Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features>Windows Live Essentials 2011 and do a repair. I have tried this twice and it does not work.

Does anyone know of anything that will work?

That's the way it works--Blocked senders will always be put into the Junk folder.
You can set an option to automatically delete Junk messages but you then rely on the junk rules to make a valid decision on incoming messages. It could delete messages deemed as junk simply because of content or frequency from a friend or other valid senders. You can limit this by settings in the Safe Sender table.

Thanks for the explanation!

I thought that block meant Live Mail would not received them at all, not block them from my inbox and put them in my junk box.

For me, the junk mail has really dropped off. I think the ISPs are doing a better job of blocking big offenders. I like being able to make a managed decision on what's in the Junk folder though. And, MS-LM makes it easy to delete the items or move them back to the Inbox. I still go back to my ISP mail handler and check that junk box about once a week or so. I prefer to make the final decision. Beats missing an important email. But I understand your point of a "blocked sender". The thing is, as the blocks can be at the domain level there could be a good one in there too. (See my blocks.)
