    Correct. Outlook even has a unified inbox in the android version. Microsoft Mail, the junior version of Outlook, also has a unified inbox but that program is scheduled for demolition. Almost every competing email client has the feature. I guess Microsoft just doesn't give a s...

    I have 7 email accounts that I use regularly.

    On my PC, in Windows Mail I could see at one glance on the main screen if/when new emails arrived in any of those accounts. When I clicked on that account the folders opened for it, and other email account folders were minimized. Everything I wanted was there with one glance, and one click.

    With Outlook on my PC I must now open all 7 accounts, and scroll through pages of folders JUST TO SEE IF A NEW EMAIL HAS ARRIVED.

    With Windows Mail, if I wanted to look for emails I had flagged in each inbox that I needed to go back to to respond, I could simply click on each account in turn, and it would take me to the top of the inbox for that account, and I could instantly see any flagged emails. Now I have to scroll through pages of folders, and search for each inbox separately. It is not only inefficient, but prone to me missing something important!

    How difficult would it be to put the number of any unopened emails next to the account name when minimized, so at least then you can keep the email folders minimized and see when new emails have arrived, and for which account. Instead of having to open them IN CASE something may have arrived.

    As others said, this is a non-starter for me. But I am going to be forced into soon. In fact I may already have been. I cannot seem to toggle back to Windows Mail any more!!

    I'm mad as h*ll about this.

    I second this and would like to reiterate that the response is worse than the issue itself.

    Karl, you're wrong, Outlook does have an Inbox for emails from different accounts, and its very essy to set it up. The future version is the one missing it. Shame on Microsoft who is missing the point yet again.

    Microsoft Mail and Calendar has a unified Inbox in which you can add all your email accounts and see them together in the order you received your emails. This is most useful. I cannot find that function in the 'New Outlook' Mail app. I can see all my accounts but separate, not unified, which forces me to open all of them one by one. Most annoying.
