Office 365 - Can't Change Focused Inbox Using PowerShell

[ollyyllo]

I am trying to disable the Focused Inbox for Office 365 via PowerShell

I've tried using the following PowerShell command on a test mailbox

Set-FocusedInbox -Identity [email protected] -FocusedInboxOn $false

Then If I run

Get-FocusedInbox -Identity [email protected]

I can see it has changed the -FocusedInboxOn parameter as expected.

 

But when I log into the OWA, the inbox is still filtered to 'Show Focused Inbox'.

 

Also changing the setting manually doesn't seem to update the parameter value.

 

Does anyone know if this parameter still works?

How long did you wait between running the PowerShell command and logging into OWA?

 

Some things in Office 365 don't take effect straight away.

That might be it, I only gave it 20 min.

Would 24hr be long enough to be sure?

Should be.
