Microsoft has introduced a new Outlook email feature called Clutter. This feature is designed to automatically move low priority messages out of your Inbox and into their own folder, saving you time when you scan for important messages.

Clutter looks at what you've done in the past to determine the messages you’re most likely to ignore. It then moves those messages to a separate folder called Clutter. This feature does not change or replace the Junk-filtering function of Outlook.

Microsoft will enable Clutter by default for all IC email accounts beginning in July, but users will have the option to disable it. For more information about the Clutter feature, see:

Microsoft's article about using Clutter

To disable Clutter (this cannot be done until after the feature becomes enabled in July):

• Sign into myHome and click the yellow Outlook Web App button in the left menu
• Click Settings (the gear icon) at the top right of the page
• Choose Options > Mail > Automatic Processing > Clutter
• Select Don't separate items identified as Clutter
  
• Click Save
