Focused Inbox not working
Finally got Focused Inbox to appear in my Windows Outlook 2016 client yesterday, after finally enabling Modern Authentication in our Exchange Online tenant. It had been present and working in my Mac ...
Hello!
Activate your Focused inbox by:
1. Access the Exchange Online environment through the powershell.
2. Set-OrganizationConfig -FocusedInboxOn $ True (applies to entire organization)
3. Check if Get-OrganizationConfig is applied.
4. Go to Exchange Central Administration - Mail Flow - Rules and create a Focused inbox rule.
Set the message header to this value Add the following header value in the entry:
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-BypassFocusedInbox

Our focused inbox works perfectly since turning on modern authentication. NEW related question:
This has been a very collaborative group on this thread so I am asking the question here.
Can I create a rule on mail that is flagged as Other? I cannot figure this out but my VIP would like to have all mail in the Other view be marked as read so that the unread mark does not include it on the Inbox folder. Anyone have an idea for this?
THANKS
Hi!
I think can do it in two steps.
1. Use Outlook rules to filter by "Inbox" first.
2. If you need to fine-tune your Focused Inbox, Move to Focused and Move to Other options are available to do that.Thanks for the response but that is not our issue. My VIP wants messages that go to Other to be automatically marked as READ. I have not been able to figure this out.
