New outlook - order of email accounts

Dear Bill,
To change the order of email accounts in Outlook, you can follow these steps: ( source: https://www.lifewire.com/change-account-order-o... *)

1. Open Outlook and collapse all the accounts so that only the account names are visible. To collapse accounts, select the arrow to the left of the account name.
2. Click and hold the account you want to move and then drag the account up or down to a different position.
3. Close and reopen Outlook. The email accounts are sorted in the order you set.

this doesn't work. : click hold and drag doesn't work

I dread when the make the change go permanent. I have a ton of old email messages that I can't bring over to the new outlook. I use these in response to new activity that needs rederence to old data as a starting point.

They really have made this a potential business disaster.

Microsoft is an attack on anybody's productivity, 365 and new outlook are a confusing mess.

That procedure moves 1 account to the top. I have 10 email accounts that I want to re-arrange, in the old Outlook, I could just drag and drop to my needed order. The new outlook takes a strategic plan to get the order I want by reverse ordering each email account one by one with your procedure in order to get the email sequence I want.

Sorry, still no joy as we need the process that we had in the old outlook brought over to the new outlook.

Thanks,

Elmer
