Office 365 (Outlook | Outlook on the web) - Getting to know the Focused Inbox
Focused Inbox is intended to help you focus your emails and add more emphasis to the ones that matter most to you. It separates your inbox into two tabs, Focused and Other. The emails deemed most important are filtered into the Focused tab, while the rest remain easily accessible yet out of the way in the Other tab. You'll be informed about email flowing into the Other tab, and can switch between tabs at any time to take a quick look.
