I have multiple inboxes flowing into my Outlook clients on MacOS, iOS, formerly Windows 10, but now can't find that functionality for a joint inbox in my Windows 11 version. Please help!

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    As you stated Microsoft needs on its own to offer combining accounts on Windows platforms, something it already has in its version for MAC (I have this in my MacBook Air computer). I can only guess that there email problems associated with Windows that are not easy to resolve. The situation presents is a significant problem for many users. Why the Microsoft silence?

    I play it both ways. I keep MAC and Windows presence for problems like this one.

    Hi Karl!

    Per the Microsoft "hacks" page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-life-hacks/organization/how-to-manage-more-than-one-email-account - it states: "If each of your email accounts use the same email service provider, like Outlook, you’ll be able to create a unified inbox without downloading anything. In Outlook, tap the Account icon and select All Account to open a unified inbox with all of the accounts you’re logged into. If your email accounts use different email service providers, you can still try out a unified inbox by looking into third-party email apps that allow you to add all of your inboxes in one view.

    Another option to streamline your email accounts is to set up automatic forwarding on your secondary accounts to redirect messages to your primary inbox. If your main reason for having secondary accounts is to protect your privacy, forwarding can be a good option. However, it doesn’t allow you to organize your emails as easily as when using a unified inbox."

    SOOOOOOO... There absolutely IS a unified inbox, so long as all the accounts are "outlook" accounts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Mail just stopped working. Therefore, I am uninstalling Outlook and going to Thunderbird.

    Mail had a plain, simple innterface perfect for the home user. Outlook was great when I had an echange account but I don't need all that extra functionality anymore.

    The main feature I need now is a unified inbox!!!
