Focused Inbox intelligently pre-sorts your email so you can focus on what matters. It places your most important emails in Focused and the rest in Other. Focused Inbox works across all your email accounts, personal and professional. To create an inbox that "feels right" to you, the system takes into account emails and contacts with whom you interact, and filters out noisy sources like automatically generated or bulk email. The more you use it, the better it gets.
