Managing Clutter Email in Outlook

Reading and sorting through email can sometimes be the most time-consuming task during the day. It is all-too-easy for important messages to become lost and unread in the midst of other emails that aren’t junk, but just aren’t as important or urgent as others. The “Clutter” tool can help you solve this problem.

The “Clutter” tool in Microsoft Outlook is designed to help you automatically sort low priority email out of your inbox so that your most important messages are what you see first. The “Clutter” tool can be turned on and off in your Microsoft Outlook settings. If you turn the tool on, it will begin to monitor which email messages you read and which you don’t. Then, as the system learns about what types of email messages are important to you, it begins to filter messages you do not typically read into your “Clutter” email box. You can always read a message in Clutter, or remove it from the “Clutter” mailbox, and the system will continue to learn about which emails it should sort and which it should not.
