Clutter vs Focused Inbox: Office 365

I've been using Zimbrs a lot recently with a client and let me tell you.... I'd forgot how easy mail could be. So much better.

I know I'm going to be roundly castigated for this, but I miss clutter. Focused Inbox isn't working for me yet, so all of the semi spam that I get from vendors that would get shunted into clutter is now cluttering up my inbox. I haven't had this much crap in my inbox in a long time.

Focused Inbox is extremely stupid. Let me handle what is clutter. I don't need, essentially, two junk mail boxes.

Also, you can just disable it. @Kelly @scottalanmiller

Go to Outlook > Settings (gear) > Layout > Focused Inbox > Don't sort messages.

I never saw a use for Clutter, other than having an additional spam folder to check. So I disabled it.

This was my opinion on Clutter. Only one client found it useful and the rest asked for it to be disabled.

Nobody saw it useful and asked us to disable it too.

Yeah right, like you can "disabled" Clutter.

There's a script for that. I'll post it when I get in the office.

I disabled it once in the GUI and it turned back on later. I then disabled it with remote powershell and it has never come back on.

To disable for individual users:

Set-clutter -identity [email protected] -Enable $false

For an entire organization (tenant)

Get-Mailbox | Set-Clutter -Enable $false

You do have to be signed into your O365 environment by PowerShell:

$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/" -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

It will ask you to authenticate. Use your normal creds.

Import-PSSession $session
You will see another module load and you're in to run the above scripts.
