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

    Please Microsoft add "Disable spam filter" to outlook.com soon!

    Unbelievable that this is not provided yet!

    This is SO annoying. I use MacMail and Tablets with yourOutlook Mail. Great product. Thanks.  

    But every time I apply to a Bank, or an Insurance Company, or purchase for the first time from any big company I have to update the safe senders to include the "Do not reply to xxxxx Bank" address or whatever.

    You (Microsoft) must realise that people are marking advertising mail as "Junk" when it is simply unwanted marketing, but genuine recipients are having the mails blocked because you use the information to identify these companies as total spammers, when they are nothing of the sort.

    GMail uses IMAP so at least I can see the junk in MacMail and in my Tablet messages, but every week (or within a day for new insurance application etc) I have to log in via webmail to retrieve false positives. PLEASE include an option to turn off spam filters completely.Thanks.

    I share your frustration with Microsoft. 

    Management has either gone off the deep end, or their new business model no longer includes their hotmail customers. I just wish that my hotmail email wasn't so old. I have too many friends from years back to just switch it. This outlook.com and complete lack of support is such a disappointment.
