The user is running Outlook 2016 with the latest 32bit build (19.0.9330.2073) as part of their active Office 365 Personal subscription, with an Outlook.com E-Mail address set up in Outlook. The Focused Inbox button is missing under the View tab, and adding it manually on the quick access toolbar results in a button that is greyed out. Turn on the ruler when composing an email message. From the Home tab, in the New group, click New Email. In the Message window, click Customize the Quick Access Toolbar, and then click More Commands to display the Outlook Options dialog box. In the Choose commands from list, click Commands Not in.

Actually you can insert and view such a ruler in Microsoft Outlook too, which has similar editor as that in Microsoft Word. Here we will show you how to insert and view ruler in Microsoft Outlook easily.
