Focused inbox shows in OWA missing in Outlook 2016
- Apr 20, 2017
Hey Joshua - please check out our official blog on Focused Inbox: https://blogs.office.com/2016/07/26/outlook-helps-you-focus-on-what-matters-to-you/
This blog talks about IT controls: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exchange/2016/10/14/managing-focused-inbox-in-office-365-and-outlook/
Thanks for your patience. More updates coming soon!
let me clarify that - i have 2 tenants, one was not enabled for modern auth. Had focused inbox for all accounts and shared mailboxes from one tenant but Outlook would not show the focused inbox for the mailboxes in the second tenant. I finally got around to enabling modern auth in that tenant today and now i have focused inbox in outlook for all accounts in my tenant.
To check the settings, use
Get-OrganizationConfig | ft name, *OAuth*
to enable it, use
Set-OrganizationConfig -OAuth2ClientProfileEnabled:$true

Hey all - I just wrote up a new update for Focused Inbox roll-out. It has lots of details about how this will show up in Outlook 2016 on Windows. Take a look!

Allen, I looked at that post and posted there but thought I would here as well. We have modern authentication. We are first release. We have focused inbox turned on in the tenant. We have the correct version or higher for Outlook 2016 for Windows and still no focused inbox. I used PowerShell to confirm it was on for my account. I see it in OWA and on

Thanks Allen! My client updated on Tuesday and Focused Inbox is now working on both PC and Mac! I'm still getting adjusted to the algorithm and clutter "move to folder patter" loss but it seems great so far!

Glad to hear it Joshua. Note that you have the Move to Focused and Move to Other buttons..they work much like the Move to Clutter action did previously.
