Solved: How do I get rid of Outlook's 'Focused' tab - Page 3

Johnaldo · ‎03-11-2017

My Outlook must have been recently updated as I suddenly have 2 new tabs in my Inbox … Focused and Other. Apparently Focused is for important stuff … but how can Microsoft possibly know what's important to me?

I realised I'd missed some emails because of this, so I just want to go back to one tab.

I've found various instructions for differing versions of Outlook, but they all begin by opening the 'cog wheel' for settings … but I don't have that.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks John

Pleased it was sorted @Johnaldo. Most people on the Microsoft forums are saying the Focused tab/setting has no idea what is actually important to the individual!

I find it works very well after a while and you've trained it to know what's important to you.

I’m sure it doesn’t suit everyone.

I was simply quoting from the Microsoft forum(s) and a couple of articles I read. Doesn't suit everyone. Good job we all have individual tastes...

Well that's not in accordance with the Book of Microsoft

Certainly isn't. Therefore it's good that we can circumvent that rule book.
