How To Train Your Clutter
When it comes to organizing our email, we all have our personal preferences. But not everyone reads email as soon as it arrives. Some email is just not as important as others. You want that email; you just don’t have time to look at it right now. It’s not junk, and it’s not trash.
This is where Clutter can help! Clutter is a feature of Outlook email, both online and in your desktop client. It will appear as a folder in both applications.
Clutter is designed to recognize low priority email and move it to the Clutter folder. It learns from your usage patterns. If you leave unopened email in your inbox, Clutter will recognize email from this sender as not being of high importance. Clutter will move email from this sender to the Clutter folder.
