How much time do you spend sorting through emails every day, trying to figure out what really needs your attention?

If you are like most business owners, the answer is probably “too much.”

Between customer questions, supplier updates, internal messages, and the occasional bit of junk, your inbox can get overwhelming fast.

Missing something important because it gets buried can lead to delays, confusion, or worse.

There is good news. Microsoft is rolling out a smart new tool to help.

Soon, Outlook for iOS and Android will use Copilot, Microsoft’s AI assistant, to flag your most important emails. This new feature, called Priority view, will sort your inbox into two simple categories: High Priority and Needs Replies.

When you open Outlook on your phone, the emails that matter most will stand out right away.

We all know how easy it is for important messages to slip through the cracks, especially when you are busy or juggling several roles. With Priority view, you will spend less time digging through your inbox and more time on what matters.

For your team, this can help take away the stress of keeping up with emails. No more worrying about missing something vital buried under newsletters or group updates.

Keep in mind, this feature will roll out gradually and may not reach everyone until late 2025. It is also only available for businesses using Microsoft 365 with a Copilot license, since Copilot is a paid add-on.

If you are thinking about using AI tools to help your business work smarter, this is one to watch.
