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

Great discussion. What I find to be the most ironic (and idiotic), is that the Outlook for MacOS DOES have a Unified Mailbox, and it works great. And overall, the application looks much nicer. Basically, MS is making a better version for their main competitor, and includes some half-baked "work in progress" version for their own flagship OS users. Can someone make this make sense? Why can't it be the same application on both platforms, like Edge?

On the topic of alternatives, I'm surprised no one mentioned Thunderbird. Still a decent alternative, especially if you need some more advanced features. I currently have it on both, my Mac and Windows, computers, and I kind of switch between it and Outlook for now, trying to make sure it works for what I need, and so far so good.

Microsoft, and it's aggressive push of the "new" Outlook which misses some essential features, might have actually pushed me to a third party client

The new Outlook is basically reusing the design of the web browser version. I suppose that explains why not all functionality is present (yet). Be sure to send feedback if you haven't already done so.

Totally agreeing with what you’ve said. I’m using both, Windows and Mac machines and Outlook works great on Mac (of course, as you’ve said, with unified mailbox). Haven’t tried Thunderbird yet ( the latest one) but 👍.

without a unified inbox, outlook is useless to me. i tried the new outlook, added my accounts for 15 mins, then took another half hour to realize there is no unified inbox. what a joke lmao

My feelings exactly. Seems almost intentional of MS to omit this. Steer more users to Office 365?
