In Microsoft Mail, Version 16005.14326.21490.0, Windows 11, in my Focused Folder I mark certain emails as Junk, the program gives me a fleeting message saying it has moved the email and blocked the sender, but then I receive new emails from the same sender in my Focused Folder.

Outlook 2016 Spam Email

Any ideas as to how this can be fixed?

You need to mark it as "Not Junk".

Junk email

It's a never-ending battle. They spammers change their email addresses, so while the previous spammers email address was added to the blocked senders list, the new one is not. The only way to combat this is to engage the high sensitivity filters, which basically block all but people you have in your contacts list. This means all email goes to your junk mail filter unless the sender is in your contacts. But, this means you can't get any email from senders you aren't expecting unless you check your junk mail folder and add them to your contacts.

This also isn't perfect, since the spammers use tricks like using your own email address as the source, or hijacking your friends email accounts and sending spam from their accounts.
