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.
- So am I reading this right. We are not using ADFS, (just using password sync via AADConnect), is this saying that we cannot use Modern Authentication and therefore cannot have Focused Inbox in Outlook?
- AllenFilushModern Auth is a requirement right now for Focused Inbox. As I noted, we plan to remove that requirement in an upcoming update.
I'm not an expert on what ADFS setup does or doesn't allow Modern Auth to work - but the links in the update I published explain the necessary steps to get that setup.
