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

    I've not found a way to resolve it yet, but I have added each of my inboxes to my favorites area, and I can reorder those however I like...

    I also have sub-folders that change each semester for courses I'm teaching at that time, so I add those to favorites to get to them quickly. Adding them to favorites, combined with automatic routing rules has made my life so much easier. Now, my favorites bar will show me immediately when I have an email from a student in that course. (Granted, this doesn't work if the student does not adhere to the subject line indicator on which the rule is based, but that's rare, and even if they do, it still shows up as an unread in the general mailbox).

    Now if I could just rename the accounts so they don't all say Inbox (something @ place . com).

    Even the old "Windows Live Mail" handled mail better than this "new"Outlook.

    Not only rearranging the order of the mail and sub categories..

    In WLM I had the pleasure of using the -Quick views- , where it combined all (new/sent/junk etc) mail from all mail accounts together in 1 quick overview.

    Gone :(

    We've decided to move all our emails to Thunderbird as Microsoft simply cannot get it right.

    Rather than waste time trying to troubleshoot Microsoft apps, just save yourself time and grief by using Thunderbird.

    It's sad to watch what Microsoft keeps inflicting on itself when it really should be sorting all these things out before roll out.

    Crowdstrike anyone?
