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.

    Microsoft - I think you have plumbed the depth of ineptness with your Outlook.com spam filtering....

    You are even defining YOUR OWN emails as "spam"!  **An email from ****@account.microsoft.com just got filtered as "SPAM".

    Surely this highlights the ludicrous and over-zealous SPAM rules implemented in Outlook.com?

    MVPs - what's your view of this issue now?

    This would be "Outlook-Mail".

    My guess: it's the question if you're still on the "old" platform or if you're already migrated to the "new" (Office 365) version of outlook.com. You can easily identify it on your screen if you still see "Outlook.com" or already "Outlook Mail" in the title bar...

     Mine is 16.1389.11.2087567.  What is yours?

    Mine is '16.1379.13.2087502' so it is actually older.

    Still every single spam mail I got was relayed to the spam folder of my main account since I have written this post.
