Is there a public API I can use to create rules for filtering my email on Outlook.com?  I found the Live Connect API, but that doesn't seem to provide any interface to create, edit, or even view a rule.

 

I've been using Outlook to apply filtering rules to my email, but the problem is that Outlook applies these rules client-side and there is a delay for these rules to take effect when viewing email on my phone or another computer.  Frequently, it results in duplicate messages being created.  If the rules were applied on the server, this problem would be avoided.

 

I have filtering rules applied to around 1000 email addresses.  It is not realistic to try and duplicate these rules using the current web interface for creating a rule.

 

Better than an API would be if the Outlook Hotmail Connector were updated so that when rules are created in Outlook, they are run on the server.
