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

    Right click on unwanted favorites and they can be removed. Dragging email accounts to sort in a different order doesn't work for me. What works well for me is to drag inboxes for the different accounts to favorites. They can be dragged there to the desired order.

    I was able to sort of solve this for the new Outlook.

    1. In the settings (gear icon - top right)
    2. Email Accounts
    3. Local the email account you want to be first and click - Manage
    4. Select 'Set as primary account'

    This will put this account at the top.

    You can get rid of the 'Favourites' folder by expanding the field, right clicking each file and selecting 'remove from favourites.' Once they are all removed the section goes away.

    Hope this helps everyone!

    Not exactly what you are looking for, but still. You can right-click on any of the accounts, choose 'Manage account', and you will be presented with the list of the existing accounts. You can click on any of them and make it primary. Then it'll be the first in the list.
