Outlook Focused Other

quinnd6 · 2017-05-04 23:02:35

Hi I use outlook.com for my email and over the last couple of days I've noticed my emails are being divided into focused and other. I hate it. How do I get rid of it?

Thank you.
I don't know what idiot working for outlook.com thought that would be a good idea.

I immediately turned it off too!

I use rules that automatically move emails to certain folder (trying to maintain "inbox zero").

This was a step backwards, or just MS trying to follow google's example of automatically sorting emails.
