Outlook -- Focused Inbox vs Other Inbox

Instructions about focused inbox

Introduction

The "Focused Inbox" option in Office 365 or Outlook 2016 moves low priority emails into an "Other" section of your "Inbox" for later viewing.
Here are training and other tips for using "Focused Inbox."

Always Move a Message to Focused Inbox

Right-click a message in the "Other" tab, and select "Always Move to Focused."
You may need to do this a few times with a few different messages over a few days.
