Microsoft announced last year that it was working on bringing Outlook's Focused Inbox feature available on Android and iOS to Windows 10 Mobile devices, but the company did not provide a specific timeline to let us know when the rollout is supposed to happen.
And now in an update to the original blog post, the company reveals that Windows 10 Mobile devices should start getting the new Focused Inbox feature for Outlook in April, which most likely means that it could be part of the Creators Update for Windows 10 due the same month.
The company hasn't mentioned the build that Windows 10 Mobile devices would need to be running to get this email feature, but it's probably safe to say that the stable release of Creators Update would be the one targeted by the release.
Focused Inbox for Outlook.comAt the same time, Microsoft is also working on releasing the same feature for Outlook.com users, and the company says that April is the target in this case too.
"Outlook.com web experience: We have rolled this out to tens of millions of users already. We will continue rolling the feature out and it will be available to all users by April 2017. All supported Outlook.com account will be able to see Focused Inbox in the Mail app for Windows 10 starting in February 2017," it says.
Focused Inbox is an advanced feature for Outlook app that automatically prioritizes emails that are important to you. It tracks the messages and the people you interact with most often and then whenever a new email arrives, it automatically places it in the Focused Inbox should it need to be prioritized.
This way, promotional messages, newsletters, or even spam that somehow reaches your inbox will be placed in the "Other" category, putting the emphasis on the emails you need the most. The feature is already available for the Android and iOS versions of Outlook.
