Have you ever been copied on an email thread that clutters up your inbox and causes alerts to come up for something that doesn't apply to you? Here’s how to ignore that thread so that you never see it again.

1. Click on the email thread

2. Click "Home" on the top menu

3. Click the "Ignore" icon 

You can also right-click the message and select “Ignore” or double-click the email and open it. Click Message > Ignore. Whichever method you choose, Outlook will show you a confirmation window when complete.

Click “Ignore Conversation” to move all of the emails in that particular email thread straight to the Deleted Items folder. Any future messages that come in on that particular email thread will also be transferred straight to the Deleted Items folder, without you seeing them.

Don't worry, if you need to refer to this email they will remain in your Deleted Items folder for at least 30 days (or longer depending on how your Deleted Items folder is setup) and you can refer to these emails at any time.

Are you apprehensive about trying this out for the first time by yourself? Give us a call and we would be happy to walk you through it.
