So I ended up with two independent junk filters (Outlook and Server Filter). When I first migrated to Mac and Outlook 2011 a couple of years ago, it didn't have that ability. For example (my specific situation), you could make junk email filter settings changes in Outlook and it reflected on the server. With Windows and at least Outlook 2010 (not sure with Outlook 2013) Outlook basically operated as a server access point. Since I haven't had an Exchange account for a couple of years now, I haven't been able to test it all out with the latest updates to Outlook 2011 and Exchange 2013. Does anyone here use Outlook 2011 for Mac with an Exchange 2013 account? If so, I'm hoping to find out some information.
