Be honest—how much time do you waste each day digging through your inbox trying to figure out which emails actually matter? For most business owners, the answer is “way too much.”
Between customer requests, supplier updates, internal team notes, and endless newsletters, it’s easy for crucial messages to get buried. Missing the wrong email can lead to delays, confusion, or even lost business.
That’s why Microsoft is stepping in with a smarter way to manage email overload. Before you worry about missed opportunities, take a proactive step with a FREE cybersecurity risk assessment.
Copilot Brings Priority View to Outlook
Microsoft is rolling out a new feature called Priority view, powered by its AI assistant Copilot. Instead of letting emails pile up, Outlook on iOS and Android will automatically sort them into two categories: “High Priority” and “Needs Replies.”
This means when you open Outlook on your phone, the emails that matter most will stand out immediately—no more wasting time hunting for them.
If you’ve been curious about how AI can lighten the load for small businesses, see the 5 benefits of Microsoft Copilot and why so many companies are starting to explore it.
1. Less Stress and More Focus for Your Team
We’ve all felt the stress of an overflowing inbox. Priority view removes the worry of missing something vital hidden beneath dozens of updates. For employees, it means they can focus on what actually matters instead of getting lost in email clutter. That’s a big boost for productivity and peace of mind.
2. Rollout Timeline and What You Need to Know
This feature is being released gradually and may not reach all accounts until late 2025. It’s only available to Microsoft 365 business users with a Copilot license, since Copilot is a paid add-on.
But if your business is already moving toward AI-powered tools, this is one more reason to get ahead of the curve. And remember, Microsoft is constantly enhancing other tools too—like Teams sound updates—to make everyday communication smoother.
3. Why Smarter Email Tools Are a Business Advantage
For small businesses in the GTA and Simcoe, email isn’t just communication—it’s your lifeline. The ability to filter noise from urgency can make the difference between a quick response and a costly delay.
