Outlook Hotmail.co.uk email account:
The email ‘inbox’ appears to be split into two sections ...’Focused’ and ‘Other’.
Is there any way to get rid of these filters so the inbox shows every incoming email in one list?
Also what does ’Focused’ and ‘Other’ actually mean?...and how does it decide where to direct incoming emails?
All replies gratefully received.

A quick Google found me this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/focused-inbox-for-outlook-f445ad7f-02f4-4294-a82e-71d8964e3978
Which then leads to: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/turn-off-focused-inbox-f714d94d-9e63-4217-9ccb-6cb2986aa1b2Jenni x2 -
For the browser version:
Settings ==> Layout ==> Focused Inbox Check "Don't sort my messages"
Nobody knows how the Focused/Other decision is made. Is a Great Mystery Of The Internet.4 -
Thanks for the helpful replies. Much appreciated.0
