How to Disable Focused Inbox

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. The purpose of a Focused mailbox is to only have your important messages in one view. To remove the "Focused" inbox and create just one unified inbox, follow the steps below in desired web browser.

1. Log-in to outlook via your SSO portal
2. Once logged in, select "Filter" above the first available E-Mail from the message panel
3. From the list of options, de-select "Show Focused Inbox"

Alternatively:

1. Log-in to outlook via your SSO portal
2. Click on the settings icon on the top right corner of the page.
3. A drop-down menu with search functions will appear, enter "Focused" and select "Focused Inbox" result
4. Then select radio button for "Don't sort messages" 
5. Click save for changes to take effect
