Overview
Be advised, the default setting in your Outlook E-Mail account as provided by CSULB is to create two inboxes, a "Focused" and "Other" inbox. Your most important email messages are on the Focused tab while the rest remain easily accessible, but out of the way, on the Other tab. To remove or add the "Focused" inbox, follow the steps below in desired web browser.
Removing Focused Inbox
Removing the "Focused Inbox" in your Outlook E-Mail account will disable the automatic filter that separates regular email and what the system picks out as junk mail. This will ensure that no email will become hidden in the "Other" inbox tab. Without the filter, every email, including junk, will flow into one main inbox.
This is a feature for various versions of Outlook including: Outlook on the web, Outlook.com, Outlook for Mac, and Windows 11 Mail.
See Turn off Focused Inbox for Outlook to view the steps for removing "Focused Inbox" for your specific Outlook version.
Adding Focused Inbox
Implementing the "Focused Inbox" will separate your inbox into two tabs, and most of your junk mail will go to the "Other Inbox." This allows your inbox to appear cleaner with the emails you want to see. The Outlook system is sorting your mail into each tab, and sometimes you can miss important emails that end up in the "Other Inbox." With this, you have to train your inbox by dragging those important emails to the "Focused Inbox."
This is a feature for various versions of Outlook including: Outlook on the web, Outlook.com, Outlook for Mac, and Windows 11 Mail.
