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
Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I have spent the entire afternoon trying to reinstall the old version and simply can't find a way to do it. Since installing New Outlook, my "old" Outlook together with folders and saved emails have completely disappeared. I need access to those saved emails and can't get to them.
Feb 2025 now and no solution.
You can no longer switch back to Mail and re-order there.
If you submit feedback you get a message saying
NEW OUTLOOK FOR WINDOWS DOES NOT SUPPORT THE REORDERING OF FOLDERS!
simple answer is you can't reorder you're accounts.
The work arounds are delete all you emails and add them back in one by one or use favorites.
I was going to write a sarcastic message but figured the mods would delete the post :D
This thread is over 2 years old, if they haven't added the functionality by now they never will
These instructions work for the 'Android' version of 'new' Outlook - at least, in early 2025 - but not for the desktop version! Just ANOTHER example of how there is NO UNIFORMITY between different versions of Microsoft Office/365 apps, making them useless for most users who wish to access apps on different devices or in different locations - desktop, web, mobile!!!
This works for me
On the left-hand side select
Favorites
> click on ...
> Add Favorite
> choose the InBox of each of the email accounts in turn
> once all accounts added, then
> you can Re-order the inboxes as required.
The actual accounts aren't reordered,
The shortcuts created in the Favorites are reordered.
