I have found another post on this, but the thread is closed, so I cannot reply. 

I need to adjust Junk email settings in Outlook.com as it is pulling way to much into junk.

A week ago, I migrated my who family from hosted exchange to Office 365 Home Premium with my own email domain.  Since then, just about all my families email are being pushed into junk. 

The filtering is absolutely not working for me - which is set to "standard". 

Can this setting be relaxed or turned off? 

Something is badly wrong here!

Many thanks

Steve.

    Hello Moderator - I to am beyond angry about the junk filters.  It is beyond acceptable to have to sign onto the web mail to add EVERY SINGLE EMAIL SENDER to my "Safe Email list"  I never know when a sender from whom I have received emails in the past will suddenly be determined to be junk mail.  I am a big kid, I know where my delete key lives, let me determine what is junk and what is not!  Return the option to turn off junk filtering.

    also submitted to the link in your above response.

    We use Office 365 for Business.  I have ALWAYS had my Junk Email options set to this:

    There are NO email addresses in the Blocked Senders list.  Yet, somehow yesterday, an email got put in my Junk email folder.  Of course, it was an email I was waiting on - but because I have my email set to NOT do anything with Junk, I wasn't checking there.

    How do I stop Outlook from putting things in my Junk folder?  I've read 6 pages of comments and questions, but I have yet to see an actual answer.

    Why is there still no option to disable this really bad junk filter? Any user using POP3 only is not able to properly use this email service. This is so stupid.

    Please add an option to disable the junk filter.

    Just to keep this alive, because the problem is infuriating and a perfect example the Microsoft habit of allowing bugs to become 'traditional' in core products.

    The junk filter is junk. No amount of interminably adding senders to the 'safe sender' list deals with junking of items from mailing list services where slightly different server names can occur. Nor is here any excuse for senders who have been successfully received over months and years to be suddenly consigned to junk. Like other posters here, I have even had important notifications from Microsoft junked.

    A JUNK FILTER THAT HAS TO BE CHECKED EVERY DAY IS NOT A JUNK FILTER.

    Let me switch it off.

    I can't believe there's no simple way to turn off the junk mail filter.

    Mods this is the worst flaw of Outlook.com, please fix ASAP.
