The previous native Windows Mail app provided the option to have an "All Inboxes" view. It appears the new Outlook does not? Or am I missing something?

    The last post, (back in May) regarding this critical feature has still not been solved.
    Microsoft hasn't responded to most of these kinds of threads, BECAUSE THEY JUST DON'T CARE!!!

    They are more interested is staying on the cutting edge of Progressive Politics, or adding that new,
    useless feature for the Gen Z crowd.

    The new Outlook is a disaster in so many ways, it's comical. At this point, I wouldn't use it purely
    out of self respect.

    I don't really think the new Outlook is a disaster, at least I think it is working fine for me, but the missing "All inboxes" is really a stupid thing to miss since it is a basic thing that most clients (even Outlook mobile) already got.

    Right now I'm still using the old Windows Mail (that I don't really think it is better than the new Outlook) because if I'm using the new Outlook I need to wait 1 minute each time I open the inbox to understand if I got something new... Also I need to use outlook mobile to check the spam folder or empty the trash bin (I can do that for every single mail but come on... that's time consuming...).

    I actually want the new outlook to get the "All inboxes" since the old Windows Mail got a bug with yahoo mail (sometimes they cannot be displayed on Windows Mail) and Thunderbird got some problem with icloud and my working mail signature in outlook (I cannot add images+text). The new Outlook got that right.

    But I agree that Microsoft seems like they don't care. There is just no reason not to implement a single views for every mail, it should be easy to implement too (they already got the email, they should just order them). It's just that stupid to skip the "All inboxes" feature, new Outlook is not that bad compared to the old Windows Mail so why ruin everything with this basic handicap?

    I have just been invited to use the replacement to mail and with no unified boxes I will not be using it until it is forced on us. I will then probably pay for an email client that does give you that choice.

    Most people these days especially those who work from home have unified accounts for business and personal reasons.

    Wake up Microsoft you are so far behind on unified email boxes.

    I personally have 5 different emails address' as I run websites and need a different one for each so I know where the emails are coming from.

    Why then confuse the issue?

    I don't think anyone intended to cause confusion. But the question of third-party alternatives to the new Outlook came up earlier in the thread, and some of those were discussed briefly.
