How to make email arrive in the Focused inbox automatically in Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live, or MSN


Microsoft has been rolling out the Focused and Other inboxes to Canadian email users of Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live, and MSN. The email software automatically sorts your email: more important email goes into the Focused inbox while less important email goes into the Other inbox. The problem is that the software may not be getting it right. You may have some important email in the Other inbox and vice versa. Fortunately, you can tell the software which email should go to which inbox. How do you make sure you get the emails you want to see in the Focused folder? For desktop users:
  • Go the Other folder
  • Open an email from the sender such as Shopper’s Voice
  • Click on Move to in the menu at the top
  • Select and click on Always move to Focused inbox.
  • Tip: Check the Other tab from time to time to make sure you don’t miss any other important emails.
 
How to make email arrive in Focused inbox
Go to Other inbox and open an email such as from Shopper’s Voice.

You can always reverse the process by opening an email in the Focused folder, click on “Move to”, and select “Always move to Other inbox”. You can also turn off the Focused inbox by following these instructions: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Turn-off-Focused-Inbox-f714d94d-9e63-4217-9ccb-6cb2986aa1b2   For Outlook mobile app users:

      1. Very very long, but I persisted, love shoppers all my life, hopefully will be rewarded with something useful. I have been an avid customer!

      2. Thank you for the chance to win we live on 1300 a month so the samples, coupons would definitely would help alot thanks again !! 😍

      3. I’m happy to wait maybe for some good things for my future career opportunity sooner and god bless me with my family.

    1. This was the longest survey I’ve ever done—way too long. I almost gave up. The survey asks too many personal questions. I thought this was for Giant Tiger not Shopper;s Voice?

      1. I agree it is definitely the longest survey I’ve ever done for a store. I kept dozing off to sleep but I do like giving feedback you’re right about them asking too many personal questions. I don’t mind because it could help others. I know I feel completely hopeless after suffering for over half my life so almost 26 years and can use any help if I haven’t tried something and I’m on disability so I can’t afford most things like my supplements and singular isn’t cover or lyrica and I can’t afford them. I so desperately need help. Shoppers is my favourite store but I always spend too much on necessities let alone a few things for myself but that won’t happen.

      1. I enjoy doing surveys as i know it helps to know what people like and gives shoppers an idea whst their shoppers need…

      2. Hope for the best…I always had done these type of surveys but never won anything I hope I will win this time….the survey was lengthy but it was good I like it..

    2. I loved doing this survey it really made me think lol but it was great hopefully I will be a lucky contestant.

    3. I was very excited to to participate on this survey.,unfortunately it was way too long than expected, yo be honest i was about to give up, but considering the customer service the name Joumana that invited me to respond to this survey decided to go to trough it, i thought it was about how i was served, whether satisfied with her service or not, however, i am happy to say, i was very satisfied with the service she very performing her duties im a very professional way. I am very loyal to this particular shoppers drug mart at 1675 Tenth Line Rd i Orleans and sometimes the customer service could be chaos.
      I give 👍to Mss Joumana a100% even dough was not the issue i needed to express my feelings. I am Proud to participate in this survey.

    4. I am not concerned in filling out surveys or getting something for nothing. I only replied through this long journey into my personal life in order to give thanks to the lovely ,helpful, courteous employee Darlina of the Bayers Lake store. Your survey should start with a either or. Do I want to do a survey or do I want to point a specific employee. Seems you don’t really want info on employee satisfaction, just a consumers survey. You should pay people for filling out this survey. Took 30 minutes , thanks

      1. I started filling this out and just reduced it into the bottom of my screen and 2 hours later I resumed and finisshed. I found it a little long, lots of questions but I made it through

  1. Yes very long survey….almost quit a few times …started the other day fall asleep than had to start right from the start again ….needs to be shortened…

  2. I do agree this survey is little to long but I’m looking forward to seeing coupons I will receive. Overall I had fun. Thanks for everything

  3. I look forward to receiving samples & coupons Also any more surveys that I am eligible to do. Thank you

  4. I didn’t mind doing the survey.
    Looking forward to the rewards and a
    chance at winning the sweepstake.

  5. A very comprehensive consumer survey! Advantage for consumer…it gives an over-view of their own shopping habits!!!

  6. It’s a very detailed servery. I hope that everyone that participated in this, got a chance to win a prize.

  7. Looking forward to Receiving -Coupons/Cash/ or Whatever -in the Mail – Was very “Surprised” How LONG this Survey was!! There should be a “Time – Limit”!! Mary Boucher

    1. It was a long survey, a little to personal, but I have nothing to hide. I lived in Calgary up to 12 years ago, I would fill out surveys & I would be sent coupons in the mail for my participaction.

  8. I AM GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE:
    “You have selected an incorrect reCAPTCHA value”

    I HOPE WE RECEIVE SOME CASH! MONEY WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED IN OUR HOME!

  9. I look forward to receiving samples & coupons and hopefully more surveys that I am eligible to do. Thank you

  10. It was a good survey, but a bit long I hope this can help for a great development.
    Good way to know what the people like and what they need more .

  11. Yes, the survey was long – but interesting. The majority of questions related to average families – also to those of us retired.

  12. why is this survey so long ?? i was going to let id go after 1/2 hour but i thought about it it would have meant that i wasted my time but no more survey for me

  13. This was longer than i thought it would be,, Thought about quitting a couple times, but did finish it. Have a nice day,,

  14. I didn’t mind doing the survey in fact I enjoyed it, house was quiet and no phones so all ok. Would love to win as I am a senior it would be nice, but even if I didn’t would still love to fill out surveys, thank you !

  15. This was a very long survey .I am hoping to get samples if I’m not lucky enough to win money

  16. Nice to know you appreciate what your customers have to say. I would like to add that Lori Ann was very knowledgeable and helpful in advising me when making my purchase. It means a lot to have someone take the time to explain values of products. it certainly made my shopping experience a pleasant one! Thank you Lori and Shoppers!

  17. I enjoyed doing this Survey. It was fairly long but kept my interest all the way through. Thanks for allowing us to share our family activities at home.

  18. I look forward to receiving samples & coupons and hopefully more surveys that I am eligible to do. Thank you.

  19. I agree with some of the other people, the survey was way too long and you ask a lot of personal questions.

  20. Long long long long long I thought it would never end but it was kind of fun hope I can get some free stuff and maybe win a prize can’t wait to see what I get in the mail

  21. I’m very leery about getting “FREE” samples. I’ve been burned several times. When you get the “Free” sample the next shipment aarrives in a few days and these outrageous charges appear on your credit card. I have never found a product obtained this way that works.

  22. First for me doing anything like this
    May it help everyone involved.
    Thank you.
    Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY.

  23. Covered many issues related to shopping. I look forward to receiving new samples/coupons etc. based on my replies.

  24. It was a long survey but it also helped me to put together exactly what are the products I have been using to form a summary of what is important to me. Something we forget about through the years. I suppose getting order is getting wiser.

  25. The store attendant me Wayne I’m attend to me very and velvety professional he show me how to fix the item I bought.

  26. Interesting survey i use more products than i thought. I would like to have a chance to win the contest and recieve coupons for products to buy .

  27. Very long personal requests – might regret it! We’ll see.
    Still haven’t seen a place to put the code off the set for life ticket – will
    put it down here I guess E4NRJ3WVKMK

  28. Far too complicated as most contests to win prizes. They make it impossible or difficult so that no one wins. Just email me if I win.

  29. Thank you for allowing me to take part in your survey I am truly appreciative of the giveaways that you do in part of taking the surveys.

  30. extremely long and personal? not sure why all these question.
    like many mentioned before me, hope i don’t regret this.
    my reason for answering was for a chance to win
    1 of 2 monthly prizes of 1 million pc points
    or $1000. in pc gift cards.

  31. Looking forward to free samples, coupons. This will help out my family since the cost of living is extremely high & to get worse. Also a chance to win. Good luck everyone.
