Outlook filter settings do not persists

Question

What's up with the Outlook Filter feature?

Behavior: Set the Filter on Inbox to Unread. Change to a different Folder and change back to the Inbox. The Filter changes back to default All. The same will happen if switching between Focused and Other in the same folder.

Expected Behavior: Once a filter is set on a Folder, I expect that setting to persist until I again change it.

Is it possible to make a Filter (other than All) persist on a folder? Am I missing something?
