New outlook - order of email accounts

I have found a solution for the reordering of mailboxes on the newest version of Outlook on my Windows 11 desktop. The version I'm on is 1.2025.129.300

Assuming you open Outlook to the Home tab in the Mail application, here is what you can click:

• View (in taskbar) > View Settings (option below taskbar) > Accounts (top option on far left column of pop-up)

This will bring you to a list of all your connected mailboxes. Here's what I did and what worked for me for reordering:

• Select Manage > Remove for all connected mail accounts (Don't worry, none of your emails or preference settings will be deleted)
  - After removing all mailboxes, you will be taken to the login screen for Outlook. The regular mail interface will not be shown.
• Add whatever mail account you want ordered first. Make sure not to select "Make this my default email." That will change the email your Windows account is linked with (I got the default email prompt when first doing this process, I did not see it again when I replicated it to make this comment).
• After adding the first mail account, select Add account in the mailbox column. This is how you will add all your other mailboxes. The option should be below the first email you just added. You can also follow the same path above to reopen the Accounts tab.
• For me, Outlook saved all of my previous mailboxes in a drop-down menu labeled Suggested accounts. From there, you can simply select what email you want ordered next. Repeat this process for all your mailboxes, remembering to add in order of how you want them sorted.

Again, that is what worked for me. I'm not sure how it will work for anyone who reads this.

Let me know if this helped anyone, keen to know who scrolls to page 12 of a support forum.

Best wishes,

Thanks but still, if you have another account you want to be added on the top, you're screwed.

I would really fire the team who was responsible for this.

2025 and it still hasn't been resolved. wow. just wow.

Again, that is what worked for me. I'm not sure how it will work for anyone who reads this.

Thanks! It worked just the same. Phew.

Reading your post I decided to use the delete and re-add method that I dreaded doing because I wasn't sure how troublesome this will be - it was also smooth luckily and loaded fast. Until now I wasn't THAT annoyed with the order to risk full startup again. XD
As for who reads 12 pages - I read the first one, and then tried checking the last two-three ones for any solution or workaround, as I didn't know if re-adding will be painful or not... Lucky to read someone did it and reported how easy it was :)

PS. Sad that we have to use a workaround, which can be annoying and time consuming if you have many accounts and need a new important one on top...and have to reorder one by one... I wonder why it's not there in 2025?

I hope it'll be back with some update, cause dang...

this option solved my problem
