Office 365 Focused Inbox and @mentions for Outlook
Jesse Lawrence
Microsoft have announced that they are releasing a new set of tools for Outlook emails as part of Office 365 and Office 2016. Aimed at getting you the information that is most important to you, the new tools help with focusing and productivity. Intelligence and learning means that as you use the tools the system adapts your requirements.
Outlook Focused Functionality
Clutter rolled out last year as a tool that learned the emails that are less important to you and put them in a separate folder. This functionality very much added an extra “junk mail” style folder. For a number of months Microsoft have been trialling new functionality on a selection of mobile platforms (iOS and Android) – Focused. Using the same idea as clutter Focused learns the difference between important and “other” emails, giving you direction on the important emails in your inbox.
@mentions Focussing Outlook on People
Outlook has another feature which helps save time and improve productivity. @mentions allows you to tag people in an email, automatically adding that person to the To: line. The recipient’s name will then be highlighted to them in the email so that they can see the content that has been aimed at them.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Clutter will still be available until Focus has been completely rolled out – when Focus becomes available you will be given the option to switch. As with Clutter, users will be able to opt in or out of using it, irrespective of whether they used clutter. @mentions will work for email accounts, irrespective of the type of mailbox or email service you are using in Outlook. @mentions is due to roll out soon.
