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

    what is DashlanePlugin?  I get a message each time saying my DashlanePlugin is not operating - log off and try again.  Also some of my good emails are going into my "Spam Folder" and I only find them by accident.  I ha tried repeatedly to "Uninstall" my Dashlane but it comes right back.

    All this is pretty embarrassing.

    If I, like many of you did not have many people who still write to me at the old address I would leave it at once.

    Having said that I'm trying this solution I'll keep you refreshed if it can succeed.

    No real Microsoft employees see the posts here. If you have a suggestion leave it via the feedback mechanism in the ? menu when logged into Outlook.com.

    Have done, sadly the response has been the same… deafening silence.

    I just found the notification of this post to this thread... in my Junk Email folder.  It's good to see Microsoft treat their own domains with equal disdain.

    Same, I checked my junk mail folder the other day (again) and found 4 replies to this thread in there. Plus more emails from Outlook, MSN, Microsoft, etc, etc. Adding them to the safe senders or contacts does nothing either it seems.

    I have been corresponding with the Outlook Support team for the last couple of weeks about these issues, backwards and forwards with several different suggestions and attempts at fixing it each time, and each time a complete waste of my time. I really don't think they have any clue at all.

    They never reply to feedback. There's way too much to reply to each one.
