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.

    Hi,

    I understand that you are having issues creating an email rule on your account. For us to be able to get a bette view of your concern please provide a screenshot of the error message.

    Please note that the new updates of Outlook has been rolled out and one of the feature upgraded is the email rules creation.

    1. For Vista/Windows      7: **Use Snipping Tool to capture screen shots**
    2. For XP: **Take a screen shot**
    3. Mac      Computers: Kindly refer to your computer’s help directory
    4. For Windows 8 and 8.1. Screenshot for Win 8 and 8.1

    Post all the requested information via the private message area that I have initiated for you. Note that you have to be signed in to view my private message.

    Note: You can open the private message by clicking the red link above your post that says

    "You have a private reply to this message. Click here to read it on our secure private messages section."

    Thanks!

    This may have worked once upon a time, but when I now attempt to create this rule, it gets rejected with the message, "We can't save this rule because one or more of your free text inputs is invalid. Hint: make sure any text with a quote mark has a pair."
