"All Inboxes" setting for the new Outlook that is part of Windows 11 (not Office)

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?

    Hi

    I am using Windows 10 and office 365.

    I managed to get a unified Inbox by creating a macro that does it.

    below is the code that worked for me.

    Process

    from the Outlook screen

    press Alt+F11 to launch VBA

    selected "ThisOutlooksession"

    then entered the below. Only drawback is you have to enable macros

    Sub UnifiedInbox()

    Dim xExplorer As Outlook.Explorer

    Dim xSearch As String

    On Error Resume Next

    xSearch = "folderpath:Inbox"

    Set xExplorer = Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer

    xExplorer.Search xSearch, olSearchScopeAllFolders

    Set xApp = Nothing

    End Sub

    I'll drop Outlook immediately if no unified inbox

    Precisely.

    For anyone that requires unified mailbox you can get that feature free with Mozilla Thunderbird mailbox app. I don't know why Microsoft is forcing people to move to Outlook when it can't even do this basic feature, why would anyone want to downgrade so they can pay for features 'later'. Seems everything with Microsoft is turning for the worse...
