How do I get rid of Outlook's 'Focused' tab

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! wink

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...

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