White listing in Windows Mail?

Disappointingly, Windows Mail does not appear to "learn" about non-spamming
senders.

I repeatly visit my junk email folder and click on the "not junk" button for
relevant messages, but, when the next message arrives from the same sender,
it gets put into the same junk email folder.

These senders are in my contacts, so I don't know what to do to keep windows
mail from improperly putting the messages in my junk folder.

My expectation is that once I tell WM that a message is not junk that the
sender should be white listed. That does not appear to be the case.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

In passing, I also find the Windows Mail search a step backwards from the OE
search function. I strongly prefer the OE function, combined with Google
Desktop Search for more complex searches.

What have you got your Junk email option set to?

Tools > Email Safety Options > Options?

You might consider lowering the status to "Low"
or even "No automatic..." which will still junk blocked senders.

Check those options and report back if you don't mind
since it would help others to know the fix.
 
Windows Mail junk filters do not have learning ability.
Clicking on "not junk" only moves that message back to the Inbox.
You can whitelist a sender by adding them to the Safe Senders list:
Right-click on the message header > Junk E-mail > Add Sender to
Safe Senders list.
