Overview
If do not yet have it in your Microsoft Outlook inbox - you will. Microsoft has turned on Focused Inbox for everyone in Office 365. What is Focused Inbox? Focused Inbox is a feature within Office 365 that replaces the Clutter folder. It uses what it knows about you, how you read your email (or delete it) and puts the email it thinks might be important to you in your Focused Inbox, and everything else in Other. If your Outlook looks like the image below, you have Focused Inbox.
If you like how Outlook separates your mail, great! However, many of you might want to turn off Focused Inbox and return to the previous inbox that shows you all your mail in one place (minus the Junk Mail).
