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

    Having followed this "resolution", Outlook.com still sent some 40 emails into the junk folder (overnight), around 10% of which were not junk.

    This shouldn't be difficult.  If a tool is no longer doing the job as intended I want to turn it off, I don't want to create random rules that *don't work*.

    The sweet irony for me is the email notifications I'm getting that this thread has been updated are going into junk - indeed outlook.com seems to junk messages from @microsoft.com by default...

    What is even better is that Microsoft seems to randomly select 1% of the emails from my safe senders to move them into the junk folder.

    Completely broken.

    What the hell happened?  A couple of years ago it worked perfectly, as intended.  Today all emails are junk, apparently.

    It's very simple, actually:  years ago Outlook.com doesn't have this stupid filter made by morons with no abilities to development anything that works.... Now it has a stupid feature made by stupid people.
