Hotmail New ''focused''

[trt]

Focused has arrived on my Hotmail account, and I have no idea what its supposed to do, but its a bluddy nuisance.

They sent me a message asking what I thought, and I replied back, how do I get rid.

Anybody had it?

I saw it on a friends computer.

Not sure if she was using Windows Mail or Live Mail but there was a tab next to the Focussed tab - selecting it showed all mail.

[Mamyalynne]

I turned it off.

I've had it for a number of months...maybe since I got this tablet(July?).
Doesn't bother me...I still see all my junky,everyday emails first.

Thanks for that link, Mamya.
Just turned it off.

[Mamyalynne]

You're welcome, I just found it unnecessary.

[tonyav]

So did I, Mamya. Very unnecessary.

[trt]

Thanks Mamya.

[elliemay1]

I turned it off too

[Mamyalynne]

No doubt it was meant as 'A new improved experience' - they mostly turn out to be a backward step.

Just read this post and thanks Mamy - i have switched off the bluddy Focused thing too - what was the purpose of thaaaaaaaaat. Why don't the powers that be leave these things alone.

Thanks, M, have turned it off too

[Mamyalynne]

Allers messing aren't they?

[pastafreak]

I just got rid of it. Thanks Mamya :-)

[Mamyalynne]

This rebellion is gathering pace ;-)

[goodgoalie]

This is a great example of what AB can achieve!

it seems to be mostly the equivalent of Gmail sorting out promotional emails from others, except they don't get it right a lot of the time.

Pity they couldn't find a way to stop junk mail, instead of the bluddy focused?

[jno]

they put it in a junk mail folder, which you can then ignore; is that not good enough?
