Purdue Fort Wayne- Focused Inbox

Overview

The document describes how to enable Focused Inbox for Office365 and Outlook 2016, a feature that separates the inbox into two tabs: Focused and Other.

Instructions

Focused Inbox separates your inbox into two tabs—Focused and Other. Your most important emails are on the Focused tab while the rest remain easily accessible—but out of the way—on the Other tab. Focused inbox is gradually replacing Clutter.

Note: Please make certain to check the Other tab routinely for mail that is not under the Focused tab in your inbox.  University sent messages may, at times, appear under the Other tab.
