Windows Live Mail 2011 "block An E-Mail Sender"

[telboy1938]

Alex_Higham kindly sent me a site (For Dummies) explaining "How to Block E-Mail Senders" along with other guides but I am still having difficulty following the instructions. It says :- "Open Message you wish to block / choose Actions - Junk E-mail- Add Sender to Blocked Senders List" Unfortunately "Actions" is Greyed-Out so therefore unable to proceed. Any help please? Tel
PS, Anyone know where ChuckFickens is these days?

Have you opened the email fully and you are not just looking at it in a preview pane?

Hi telboy.....I have re-read your original posting and (Correct me if I am wrong ) your real concern is that, although you have Blocked certain e/mail senders, their mail still arrives in your Junk Folder. This is quite normal and I can't think of a way to stop it.

The purpose of blocking mail is so that your In-Box is not clogged with unwanted mail and all the rubbish can be emptied from your Junk Folder, by a single click.

Hi to you both. First to Zacs_Master I am fully opening the emails. Now to Alex_Higham. I may have my ideas mixed up. I thought that by blocking an address it would not gain access but if I have understood you correctly, they will still appear and I will still need to delete them from the Junk folder. Thanks for both previous and any future help. Telboy
