Focused Inbox vs Clutter (more junk in my primary inbox)
"I’d really like to be able to give you definitive answers to all of the questions, but unfortunately at this moment I don’t have good answers available to me or to you."
With a link to the Focused Inbox blog announcement and mentioning the PowerShell scripts to try and turn Clutter back on.
Hopefully some followup messages will lead to some useful escalation.
+1 on super useless. Clutter took getting used to, but I have users accross multiple tenants that became reliant on it. Nearly all of these users each use Outlook via iPhone/Android, Web, and Windows at different points in the day (despite what MS says in the quote mentioned above), so even though "Focused" and "Clutter" weren't in sync, they usually agreed with eachother and kept their inboxes at bay.
With this change, Outlook on Windows, where they spend most of the day, has almost become unusable due to the previously reliance on the clutter feature & is drastically different than iPhone/Android and web.
What in the world is going on here? I would expect this from a startup or a young product, but Outlook? Personally, my PC's Office 2016 installation is on the first release track and I have seen Outlook rev frequently recently with pretty noticible UI changes with no end date in site. (the latest is the weirdest yet - Version 1704 Build 8001)
Does anybody have some concrete info on what MS is doing to solve this problem and what the timeline is?
