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

    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.

    Just used Ron's rule workaround. Seems to work on hotmail, live.co.uk and outlook.com
