Focused Inbox separates your inbox into two tabs — Focused and Other. 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. You can turn Focused Inbox On via Outlook Desktop (your office computer), Outlook 365 (web version) or the Outlook app installed onto your Smart Device.
