Thanks for your patience. More updates coming soon!
So I am not an engineer so forgive me for not reading all the forums on this issue. In addition I have also have called Microsoft Support on this issue, which they did not know how to resolve or give an answer about.
Can anybody tell me when I am going to get focused in my Outlook 2016 Desktop? It is now November?

- Nov 19, 2017In file, office account, what build /version do you have? 1711 removes the modern auth requirement and focused will work for all office 365 and outlook.com users. 1711 is available to office insiders and will be released to general availability “soon”.

My tenant is not setup for Modern authentication yet, 2016 Pro Plus just updated to the December build (Monthly Channel 1711 8730.2122) and Focus inbox is now on for my test users. Time to get Outlook trained to move everything to Other and keep my inbox clean! :)

I got the newest version of Outlook 2016 but I still can't use the Focused Inbox feature. The Focused Inbox group is there in the View tab but the Show Focused Inbox button itself is missing... Any ideas on how to solve this?
