Why doesn't Tbird block an address I repeatedly mark as "Junk"?

The messages even contain the note "Thunderbird thinks this message is Junk" and I "Mark" it as junk, but I I still keep getting junk messages from the same email address. Why doesn't Tbird send messages from this email address to Junk?

The from address is not a consideration in the classification of an email as junk. Perhaps that is why.

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages

Then have a look at this one for how you actually block a sender. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/blocking-sender
