Clutter: What is it?

Clutter is a feature of the Outlook Program that attempts to sort low priority messages out of our inbox so you can focus your attention on more important messages.  It does this by scanning your messages and, based on your previous handling of similar messages, determines if you are likely to ignore the message.  Messages that are likely to be ignored, are placed in the Clutter folder.  These messages can still be accessed, and if messages have been incorrectly labeled as clutter, you can simply drag and drop them back to your inbox.  Not only will this move that message out of clutter, but overtime, it will teach clutter that messages of this type should go to the inbox instead.  Similarly, if you receive messages that you feel our clutter, you can move them to the Clutter folder and future messages with similar content will be placed there.  If you receive a lot of messages that don’t require your immediate attention, but you still want to be able to reference later, clutter may be a good solution for you.
