As its name suggests, Focused Inbox helps you focus on the emails that are actually important by separating your inbox into two tabs, Focused and Other. “Emails that matter most to you are in the Focused tab, while the rest remain easily accessible but out of the way in the Other tab,” the Outlook team explains. “You’ll be informed about email flowing to Other, and you can switch between tabs at any time to take a quick look.” You can train this feature by dragging emails from one view to the other.

The feature is aimed to help mitigate the problem of an always-overflowing inbox by moving things like promotions, newsletters and other irrelevant emails to a separate screen where they aren’t blocking the view of important messages.

ventually, the Focused inbox will replace Outlook’s existing Clutter feature, which also uses machine learning to separate important and unimportant emails based on a user’s behavior. The big difference between the two features is that Clutter moves messages to a separate folder, while Focused Inbox keeps all of the emails in the inbox, just changes how they’re displayed.

People who just want to see all their emails will be able to turn the feature off at any time, too.
