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

    Old Outlook gives me control over how my email accounts are prioritized by dragging and dropping them in the navigation (side) panel in the order I want them. New Outlook does not have this feature and my various email accounts are now sorted in an order that, for my purposes, is disorganized. If you want me to use new Outlook, which it seems like you really, really do, it has to have ALL of the same features old Outlook has. Or I won't use it. Fix it. Thanks.

    Just click on manage account, and then in the email accounts click again in Manage a set the one you want on top as Primary Account.

    Only solution is to delete and readd in the order you want, which is horrible imo
