Clutter – Meaning
Before diving deep in to the topic, let us checkout the meaning of
Clutter,
Clutter – “A collection of things lying about in an untidy state”.

Office 365 Clutter
In simple words, users receive a wide variety of emails such as
confidential emails from their boss and critical queries from customers,
while some are spam/junk emails which need to be deleted. However, there
are messages that fall somewhere in between high priority and junk/spam
emails, those low priority emails will be formed as clutter in user
inbox. So Office 365 Clutter is designed to reduce inbox clutter, by
moving the low priority emails to the “Clutter” folder within the user
mailbox. Most of the email going into the “Clutter” folder will be bulk
emails such as advertisements or messages from mailing lists. Just as
every tide has its ebb, there is also a chance of moving high priority
emails into this folder.

While referring different forums and FAQs, we understood the pain of
our fellow administrators from different companies in finding a way to
globally enable or disable Clutter feature. So in this blog we share the
steps for the same.
