Introduction to Clutter
Clutter is a feature in Outlook designed to help users streamline their email experience by moving low-priority messages out of the Inbox. This allows for easier scanning of important emails, enhancing productivity and focus.
How Clutter Works
Clutter analyzes your email behavior to identify messages you are likely to ignore. It automatically moves these emails to a folder called 'Clutter' for later review. This process is based on your past interactions with emails, helping Clutter learn your preferences over time.

Here are the steps to manage your emails effectively: - To move a low-priority message to Clutter: - Right-click on the message and select 'Move to Clutter'. - Alternatively, drag and drop the email from your Inbox to the Clutter folder. - If you find an email in the Clutter folder that should be in your Inbox: - Right-click on the message and select 'Move to Inbox'. - Or drag and drop the message from the Clutter folder back to your Inbox.
Clutter and Junk Email Management
Both the Clutter folder and the Junk Email folder are checked before emails arrive in your Inbox. The process is as follows: 1. Junk email is evaluated first. 2. After evaluation, it is checked for spam. 3. Finally, Outlook applies the established rules. Once the junk email is filtered, Clutter analyzes the remaining messages and sorts them based on your previous behavior, filtering out those you are most likely to ignore.
