New outlook - order of email accounts

Anonymous

I have multiple email accounts linked to my outlook login, some for work, volunteering and some personal for me and family.

Since 'upgrading' to the new version, I have loads of 'favourites' which I never use and the order of the accounts is not how I want them. I can see how to change your primary but not how to sort the list to change the order top to bottom. Also can I remove the favourites as I don't use them, or even hide?

Thanks

Bill

    Don't shoot the messenger here because I think this is a bad user experience, but it seems Microsoft wants you to use Favorites for this purpose. My assumption is that if you have multiple accounts, Microsoft expects you to add each inbox to your favorites (as well as any additional folders you deem important). Favorites can then be ordered in any way you see fit. Again, I don't agree with this. I'm a consultant, so my journey is usually to work inside my firm account first, then each of my client account inboxes, then my personal inboxes. If this is the direction Microsoft is going, then I guess it will just be about getting used to it.

    This DOES NOT make any difference.

    The closed email addresses DO NOT move

    There is no option to make them move

    WHY ISNT THIS EASILY DONE???

    Microsoft....pffft

    Favorites does not cut it with multiple accounts and shared emails.

    I cannot drag and drop the email accounts to reorganize them as described above. I have even tried to go back to the old Outlook, but it does not work in the new Outlook.
