Is there any way to disable junk-mail/spam filtering completely in Outlook.com? I'd prefer my Windows client to handle this locally, thus everything I receive to my @outlook.com address should be going into Inbox.

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Settings

    Just create a rule where outlook will move all messages sent 'to' your email address are moved to the inbox!?

    Ha. Too true. Although ,I would say that google is much easier to avoid. I have also stopped using google whenever possible. However, I do have a Garmin GPS that uses google maps to create maps & layers. Unfortunately, microsoft absorbed or crushed all the worthwhile competitors back in the day. My hotmail account is more than 15 years old - from a few lifetimes ago.
