Get rid of the "Focused" inbox folder. Just stop sorting my inbox unless I tell you to.

    remove focused mail option if it's not needed it junk I spend too much time looking for mail in my box for good mail.

  • n martin commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    The unintended outcome of spliting the Inbox into two views ("focused" and "other"), is that new emails appear in three possible folders: "focused", "other" and "junk". Ultimately this makes the "search" function the only way of finding an expected new email.

    MS algorithms aren't anywhere near good enough to know which emails are critical and which aren't. Businesses are risking losing contracts and jobs just to beta-test your machine-learning bs!

    focused folder has no use if most of the emails you need to see land in the other folder

    One inbox only, some mail programs can't differentiate between the two

  • Heather Monplaisir commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I dislike this feature. I want all my emails in one location rather than switching from Focus to Other.

  • Lindsey Southam commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    These comments have been coming since Oct 2018, over 1 yr. What's the hold up?

  • julie estes commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    All these people took the time to make a comment. much easier to just ck the box that I want this too. THIS MEANS IT IS MUCH WORSE THAN SOMETHING THAT HAS A HIGHER COUNT. GET RID OF IT ALREADY!! WHY DID U DO IT IN THE 1st PLACE? ALSO: Many comments that u can turn it off. Some comments that no I can't. so can u turn it off on a computer, but not a mobile phone? If some can do, make it available for all to be able to do.

    the focus vs non focus is confusing, and I miss an emails based on their latest submission. it's confusing, and unproductive in actually counterproductive to chase around emails and Resort back to previous successful outlooks better more productive than this s***

  • Martin McGowan commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    The choice of setting up mailboxes is up to the consumer, most of which are happy to sort through their emails themselves. We keep the ones we want, and delete the ones we don't. Simple.

    The focused mailbox is an unnecessary complication that detracts from the simplicity of Outlook.

    Please remove this feature altogether and give the control to the consumer
