Focused Inbox
Focused Inbox helps you focus on the emails that matter most. It separates your inbox into two tabs—Focused and Other.
If messages aren't organized the way you want, you can move them and specify where all future messages from that sender should be delivered.
From your inbox, choose the Focused or Othertab, and then right-click the message you want to move.
-
If moving from Focused to Other, choose Move to Other if you want only the selected message moved. Choose Always Move to Other if you want all future messages from the sender to be delivered to the Other tab.
If moving from Other to Focused, choose Move to Focused if you want only the selected message moved. Choose Always Move to Focused if you want all future messages from the sender to be delivered to the Focused tab.
