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

You are correct.  It should be contains.

    I agree with RR167, this should be an extremely simple task to disable junk filtering. I have email forwarding set up but anything outlook deems junk doesn't get sent to my forwarding email address, has anyone found a workaround yet?

    The workarounds no longer work and to echo previous comments the logic for moving emails to the junk folder is fundamentally flawed.  An example, I received an email which went to the Inbox and I sent a reply with some questions.  The email with the reply to my questions went to the Junk folder!  How can that be explained?

    Microsoft moderators...  you all start your replies with "I understand.....", if you do then why can't something be done about it?  If it is so difficult to turn off (which, as a develop, I find difficult to believe) then why not allow the creation of rule to move all messages from one folder to another.  You must have plenty of development $ allocated to rules because the workaround that people find are quickly undone!!!

    thanks.....

    this solution was for 2013...now, outlook.com does not show those cc/to options mate...

    they have: Sender Contains, Recipient Contains etc...

    so I chose Recipient Contains and then I put in my email address...move to inbox...nothing!!! still goes to junk
