Focused Inbox for Outlook 2016 for Windows Focused Inbox Turned On In Outlook 2016 for Windows Dear Faculty & Staff Windows Outlook users, The Focused Inbox feature has been turned on in Outlook 2016 for Windows. The feature has been available for some time in Outlook for the web, Outlook 2016 for Mac and in the Outlook for iOS and Android apps. You may receive a pop-up notification announcing the new feature when you open your inbox on Thursday morning.
I can see the focused inbox in OWA and on Outlook for iOS and it was available in Outlook 2016 for Mac as well, but disappeared a few weeks ago and Any idea how to reactivate focused inbox for my Office 365 Business Essentials account? I already tried to delete and recreate the account in Outlook. For Focused Inbox to work with Outlook 2016 you have to enable Modern Authentication in Exchange Online.As a nice side effect of enabling this feature Outlook 2016 will be able to connect to Office 365 Exchange Online when you have multi-factor authentication enabled without using an application password.
About Focused Inbox Focused Inbox is essentially a renamed version and someday replacement of the Clutter folder. With Focused Inbox enabled, your inbox is split into two tabs labeled Focused and Other.
This allows you to separate messages like newsletters or vendor solicitations from more important email, yet still have them easily accessible. A notification is shown at the top of your inbox whenever a new message has been placed into Other. Please note:. Focused inbox (and Clutter) are tools for prioritizing email and not for handling unwanted mail which should be done using Junk Email settings. Focused Inbox is only being made available to Office 365 version of Outlook 2016 (Win/Mac) and Outlook for the web (OWA). Microsoft is not releasing it to stand-alone versions of Outlook 2016 or Outlook for Mac 2011.
(These versions are not automatically upgraded as the Office 365 versions are and not part of the Office 365 ProPlus software package that is obtained via a direct download from Microsoft.)

November 17 2017 Starting with Outlook version 1711 (build 16.0.8730), modern authentication is no longer a requirement and all Office 365 and Outlook.com users will have focused inbox capability in Outlook 2016 for Windows. Several users (myself included), have noticed that Outlook desktop doesn't show the Focused and Other tabs for some Office 365 accounts. The installed version of Outlook supports Focused Inbox but it's not working.
It's not that the Focused Inbox is turned off, the Focused Inbox button is missing from the View tab. This happens when the tenant is not enabled for Modern Authentication. (Two-factor auth is not required on the accounts, but Modern Auth needs to be enabled on the tenant.) The administrator will need to enable modern auth using PowerShell. To check the setting or verify that the change was successful use this cmdlet: Get-OrganizationConfig ft name,.OAuth.
If OAuth2ClientProfileEnabled is False, the administrator can turn it on using this cmdlet: Set-OrganizationConfig -OAuth2ClientProfileEnabled:$true After enabling modern auth, it may take several minutes for the focused inbox to be enabled, or you can restart Outlook and focused inbox should be available almost immediately. Hi Diane, I am on a subscription of Office 365, Version 1807 (Build 2). My problem is I do have Focused and Other showing at the top of my mail items, and it keeps switching to Focused, which I hate. No matter how many times I switch it back to Other, it seems to decide when it should be using Focused.

So I read up on how to turn the darn thing off, and that doesn't work either. I did not have a 'Show Focused Inbox' on my view menu, so I added a custom group under View, found the command and added it. But it is greyed out. I can't do anything with it. I'm afraid your explanation above is beyond my pay grade - this is a very well used home computer and all I want is for the Focused Inbox to be shut off permanently.
I don't even want to see it. How can I accomplish that? That is the latest build and you have a subscription. So you should have focused (Focused inbox is only available in the subscription.) It only works with Microsoft Exchange accounts - which is outlook.com, office 365 exchange, or exchange 2016 on-prem. As long as you set it up using auto account setup, its exchange. 32/64 bit doesn't make a difference on this.
They recommended 32-bit for addin support but most, if not all addins are not 64bit so Microsoft will soon begin installed 64bit by default.
