New outlook - order of email accounts

My theory is that MS employees use Macs so they haven't a clue how to fix a PC.

That's great!! It works.

I struggled with this for a while and couldn't find an easy fix in the new outlook. I ended up reverting back to the old outlook, sorting my accounts order by simply 'dragging and dropping' and then switched back across to the new outlook. So far it has kept the accounts in the desired order. Not all updates are upgrades and the worst kind is when the update takes away simple functionality. You'd think Windows has been around long enough that surely by now, the Microsoft engineers could get the email app to work as well as it needs to without the need to roll out new versions, let alone force users to adopt the new platforms. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for development. I'm quite happy to spend dollars on changing out hardware as often as required to get the benefits of faster processing, more storage etc, but I was quite happy using Windows 3.1

I've a problem in that Thunderbird will get the emails for one of my microsoft accounts but not the other one . The second account gets this error https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1399126

The other works fine in Thunderbird - I have tried a lot of reconfiguration , which is not pertinant here, but with no resolution so I can't use thunderbird

So Microsoft have no admission they have a problem in new outlook and the error in Thuderbird is archived

For the new outlook I also have one account now that outlook says is already included (but it's not visible)  as per George Breeden - so I;m stuck with classic outlook

There are many email options. For a free desktop version you might try.

Mozilla Thunderbird. It's too bad Microsoft is so near sighted that they can't see how awful the New Outlook is. But that's what happens when you're in it for the $$!

Hope this helps.
