If you receive a lot of emails, enabling the focused inbox is a good idea, as Outlook automatically puts all your important emails in the Focused section using its AI algorithm. However, it sometimes can leave you searching for your emails when they automatically pile on the Other tab. Fortunately, enabling or disabling the focused inbox feature in Outlook is as easy as pie and takes a couple of seconds only. So without further ado, let’s get into the nitty gritty of enabling/disabling the feature in Outlook.
How to Enable/Disable Focused Inbox in Outlook?
Whether you are using Outlook on Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone, or even online, you simply switch the toggle button to enable/disable the above feature. However, if you are a part of an organization and use Outlook, you need to use PowerShell to change the setting for all users at once.
Using the Outlook Settings
It’s only a couple of steps to enable/disable the above Outlook feature using the Outlook settings. Here’s how you can do it, depending on where you are using it.
On Browser
On Windows (Office 365)
On Mac (Office 365)
On Outlook Mobile App (Android & iOS)

If you are an administrator and want to enable/disable the Focused Inbox mode for all users on Office 365, you can do so using Powershell. However, it’s not permanent; users can later change their settings in the View menu.
How to Fix Messages Not Showing on the Focused Tab?
The Outlook app automatically filters out messages in your inbox and tries to show you only the important emails based on its AI. Sometimes it doesn’t work as expected and places it in the Others section. You will probably find your lost emails there. On the other hand, you can manually move the emails from the Others section to the Focused tab as follows.
