Outlook works with a “priority” function. This feature sorts emails based on priority that you shouldn't miss.
Outlook's Priority Inbox uses machine learning with different algorithms to analyze your email behavior and learn which emails are important to you. These emails will then appear at the top of your inbox.
The idea behind “Priority Inbox” is to help you focus on the most important emails in your inbox so you can be more productive and efficient with your time.
If you want to disable this feature, this article explains how to disable “Priority Inbox” in Outlook.
