Outlook's Focused Inbox

Today, my Outlook webmail decided it should change its ways.

It did this, by turning on its Focused Inbox setting.

Now I had never heard of such a setting before, but suddenly, my Inbox was divided into two tabs! One with high priority and one with 'Other'. Not to be confused with the spam box, ofcourse.

After checking out what it did (basically, it just randomly divided my incoming e-mails into two folders), I decided I did not like this new feature. They asked for my review, so I gave it.

I told them I already have a spam folder. Any other division I feel is needed in my inbox can be managed by creating folders and rules.

Now I know I might be amongst the more tech savvy Outlook users. Not everyone will know about folders and rules. But the people that don't know about those, might also get confused by their e-mails being spread in two (three if you count spam) seperate folders! People already don't always know there is such a thing as a spam folder.

Anyway, I wanted my old, normal inbox back. Googling revealed there was an easy way to turn this feature off, so for people having the same problem (or for people who actually want this second inbox folder), here's where you find it:

• Open up your Outlook webmail.
• Click on the settings icon and choose Display Settings.
• Go to Focused Inbox.

That's where you can change the setting.

Hope this helps someone!
