Power Automate Method (Requires School or Work Account)

We’ve heard that for some users Outlook does not honor a rule created in the above manner. In such cases, there is another way to disable the server junk filter using Power Automate:

1. Log into Microsoft Flow.

2. Click on Connectors at the left, then Outlook.com (not Office 365 Outlook).

   

3. Click on the When a new email arrives (V2) trigger.

   

4. Choose Junk Email for the Folder and click New Step.

   

5. Search for move email and select Move email (V2) as the action.

   

6. Set the Folder to Inbox and click Save.
