Outlook will flag your most important emails

If you’ve ever asked yourself “How much time do I waste sorting through emails every day trying to figure out what really needs my attention?” — you’re not alone.

For most business owners, the answer is probably “too much.” Between customer queries, supplier updates, internal messages and the regular barrage of spam or newsletters, an inbox can quickly become chaotic.

And when something important gets buried, it can lead to delays, miscommunication — even missed opportunities.

Good news: Microsoft Outlook is getting a smart new upgrade. Their AI assistant, Microsoft Copilot, is now powering a Priority View feature in Outlook for iOS and Android.

What it does:

It sorts incoming mail into two distinct categories: High Priority and Needs Replies.
It analyses factors like who sent the email, what it contains, your past behavior — and then signals which items truly need your attention.
It helps you skip straight to the messages that matter, rather than digging through every thread.

Here’s why this matters for your business:

When you open Outlook, you’ll immediately see the high-impact emails, not the noise.
Your team spends less time feeling overwhelmed by their inbox and more time acting on what moves the needle.
Because it’s built on Microsoft 365 and Copilot, it’s part of a larger productivity ecosystem — not just an email filter.

Important details to keep in mind:

This feature is only available to businesses using Microsoft 365 with a Copilot license.
It is rolling out gradually: users of Outlook for iOS/Android will begin seeing the “Priority View” from late June 2025, with full rollout expected by late December 2025.
It works on the main inbox (not certain shared mailboxes or sub-folders in all cases) and for new messages after the feature is enabled.
