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.

2015-02-03T15:28:38+00:00 This could be a valid workaroud - if it would work. It does not work at all, even with this rule applied the mail constantly still goes to the Junkfolder making it impossible to get note of important business mails. For business I will definitely go GMail
- not because I want to, because I have to! Why does MS always tend to fail at tiny things, being a showstopper for otherwise great products. Again as stated before in case the Mods are not able to read: THIS DOES NOT WORK!

2015-02-01T07:31:18+00:00 Hi, I have the same problem, but I see the easiest way is to set up a rule to move all emails in Junk E-mail box to Inbox, that will solve the problem if you don't have too many real junk emails.
