Microsoft has incorporated a new feature to its Windows 10 Universal Outlook Mail app called the ‘Focused Inbox’. Focused inbox is mainly inclined in organizing mail and filtering the important mails to a special tap called Focused Tab. Many other mail services have this type of feature. For example, Gmail has this feature of separating promotional, Social and Primary mails into these specific tabs. Focused Inbox is a similar concept of organizing mails.
Focused Inbox helps you to focus on the emails that are important to you. It classifies your tab into separate tabs- Focused and Other. Your most important emails are moved to the Focused tab while the rest remain easily accessible on the Other tab. You’ll be informed about email flowing to Other, and you can switch between tabs at any time to take a quick look. This new feature is rolling out slowly to Windows 10 users. It will be available to everyone on the stable Windows 10 channel. So, in one word, focused tab prioritizes Mails in Outlook Mail App.
