How to redirect only e-mails in Outlook/Hotmail Inbox

Dear All,

I would like to set up some kind of rule in my Outlook/Hotmail online mailbox so that incoming e-mails that reach the Inbox get redirected to another account. I know that I could create a rule like this

Condition: Apply to all messages

Action: Redirect to @.com

but I believe this would redirect all e-mails (even the ones that would end up in Junk Email). I want to redirect only the e-mails that reach the Inbox; I am happy for the spam to be filtered into Junk Email and not be redirected.

Am I correct in that "Condition: Apply to all messages" will apply to all messages whether they are spam or not? If I am right, is there a way to redirect only messages that reach the Inbox?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yours,

David
