I have been adding the same e-mails to my junk mail list by right clicking
on
the e-mail, and clicking on Junk Mail, Add Sender to Blocked Senders List.
It shows up on the list but keeps coming through. Does anyone know what
the
problem could be? I have checked the address of the incoming mail and it
appears to be the same each time...
thanks,

If the return address actually IS the same every time, try this:
Open the message in either the Inbox folder or the Junk E-mail folder.
Click on Message, then Create Rule From Message. You may or may not need to
click to specify whether you want a mail rule or a news rule at this point;
if you do, choose mail rule. Then click on either the box before Move it to
the specified folder, or Delete it. Then scroll down in section 2 until you
see the following and click on the boxes before them:
Mark it as read
Stop processing more rules
Delete it from server
If specified folder now appears in section 3, click on the highlighted word
specified, then select a folder to move the message to; Junk E-mail if you
don't have any reason to use another one.
Now click on the OK block under section 3, and any such messages you
download in the future should be immediately deleted or moved to the Junk
E-mail folder; but not those which you have already downloaded.
However, if the return address is the same every time, the messages probably
don't meet the definition for spam, even if they are definitely something
you don't want. The above method should work on them anyway.
This does NOT work for spammers who keep changing their return addresses
every time, and most of them do.
Something else to try:
Click on Tools in the main Windows Mail window, then Windows Contacts.
Scroll down the list and see if the return address appears on the list. If
it does, click on it, then click on the red X before Delete. Addresses that
appear on this list are ignored for some blocking methods.
