Is there any way to disable spam filter completely?

Would you folks like another laugh?

I also administer two O365 tenancies… for which Microsoft charge handsomely. My staff and I have been suffering the same problem with that "premium" service for more than 4 years now… but here's the kicker.

Emails from within our own domain/tenant are often marked as spam and moved to the junk folder.

Ok… that's frustrating, so you open outlook in the web interface, select the email in question (in your junk folder) and you click the "Not Junk" button. Instead of having the email moved back into the inbox (giving you the opportunity to report the error to Microsoft) you get a wonderful dialogue box that says:

"You can not report emails from senders within your organisation. Emails sent from others within your organisation are automatically added to your safe senders so you do not need to report this email."

Now… just let that sink in for a second. The only way to get the button to report an email as "Not Junk" is if it's been marked as junk in the first place!

What must have been going through the mind of the person who made that dialogue? How on earth SHOULD anyone ever be able to see it? They're creating a message to handle a situation that the message itself says can't happen!

Personally… I think this say it all about the MS online services people.

I too have given up on outlook.com and moved away… if only it was so easy for organisations to do the same.

Wow :D

I can (not really) understand why MS would give away the development of their free email to summer interns. But, geeez, that's something you pay for, for 'soft sake.

Can you please find a "complain" button in your admin panel and attach a link to this thread in there? That can hopefully get the message to someone who cares (if there are any left in MS?)

It seems to me that the only feedback we can get in here is half-ass replies from less than useless moderators and "I feel ya bro" from others suffering the same thing :(

I was trying to answer someone who suggested there's no way to establish a rule to forward emails.

This is true on a global perspective, but I was expressing how to establish forwarding for mail from received from particular persons.

SkagitDoug, what are you trying to say?  outlook.com definitely allows you to forward all email to another account.  I've been forwarding all my incoming emails for nearly a year now.

What it does not do is allow you to forward any emails being sent to the spam folder.  Not sure how that fits your reasoning on ad revenue.

In fact, the spam filter even sends genuine Microsoft emails to the spam folder, which is hilarious and incredibly absurd all at the same time.
