How to turn off the Clutter folder in Outlook

  • Artikkeli

In my work outlook email a new service poped up a few months ago. It is called Clutter and it classifies some messages as low priority and then moves them from my inbox to the clutter folder, automatically. Just by using your email, it learns which messages aren’t important to you and then automatically moves them to the clutter folder. If Clutter gets it wrong you just move the message from the Clutter folder back to your inbox and it won’t make that mistake next time. Clutter will send summary emails every morning on what it has sorted for you.

This is great right? Well, what if you don’t want this service? You can just turn it off. But, the trick is you have to find out how to turn it off first. I have looked all over my outlook client to find how to turn it off. Can you find it? Probably not or you wouln’t be reading this post. (Hint, it’s not in the Outlook client app) Below are the instructions on how to turn it off.
