That's odd. Why do they imply on all these online support articles that it's there already for 2016? What scenarios should it actually work for?

- Joshua WidupApr 20, 2017Brass ContributorThanks for that. The 2nd link is broken FYI. So I'm in clutter zombie land then? I have focused in OWA and Mobile and have to suffer in the primary 2016 client. I guess that's what I get for being bleeding edge. ;)

Fixed the link. Not sure why it was acting strange, but I got the same error. If you want, you can go back to Clutter until we get it in Outlook 2016. See steps below:
Steps to re-enable Clutter (for admin)
As an Office 365 admin, you can re-enable Clutter using Exchange PowerShell. Once this is done, Focused Inbox will be turned off and Clutter will be active again.
Turn Clutter on using Exchange PowerShell
You can enable Clutter manually for a mailbox by running the Set-Clutter cmdlet. You can also view Clutter settings for mailboxes in your organization by running the Get-Clutter cmdlet.
Example: Turn on Clutter for a single user named Allie Bellew: Set-Clutter -Identity “Allie Bellew” -Enable $true- Joshua WidupApr 20, 2017Brass ContributorCool - I missed that ... thought it was a one way street once focused was on. Thanks for the help!
