Folder Management in Outlook 365 Default folders By default, your account starts with these folders: Inbox Incoming messages arrive in your Inbox unless you ve created an Inbox rule to redirect them to another folder, or they re identified as junk email. Focus Helps you filter mail based on how you handled incoming messages in the past. When turned on, the email server keeps track of messages you from individuals you email more frequently. Messages from others are moved to the Focus folder. Sent Items By default, a copy of every message you send is put in your Sent Items folder. Deleted Items When you delete a message, it s moved to the Deleted Items folder. Shortcut menus for folders Most of what you can do with a folder can be found in the dropdown menu that appears when you choose a folder and right-click. Which shortcut appears depends on if you've selected a folder under Favorites or under your personal folder. Favorites The Favorites area allows quick access to folders you use most frequently. Favorites is located above your Inbox in your email navigation bar. Move up in list or Move down in list Use one of these options to reposition the folder higher or lower in the folder hierarchy.

Retention Policy Retention Policies can automatically delete unwanted email after a specific time period. Email with a limited life span, will have notices appear before the deletion (see screenshot below). Note that the specific label applied is identified. Your Retention policy provides several options. What happens to messages that are removed? A retention policy may permanently delete messages, or it may move them to your Deleted Items folder. If the retention policy description says Delete (Temporarily recoverable) you can use Recover deleted items to recover the messages. How long the items are recoverable is managed by your organization s administrator. The default period is 30 days. When you recover an item that was removed by a retention or archive policy, you have to either put it in a folder that doesn t have a policy associated with it, or remove the policy from that item after you recover it; otherwise, the item may be removed again.
