I have started using the new Outlook desktop interface. In the older version I was able to enter this search term: Folder:inbox and select all mailboxes and it would display all my inboxes from different email accounts. I cannot find the equivalent in the new interface. Does it exist? How can I look at the inbox of all my accounts without having to do them one at a time?
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
My workaround,
Create a search folder for "Mail Sent Directly to Me" and a search folder for "Mail From Specific People" choosing my own email as the specific person. Not optimal but at least I seem to be capturing all incoming and outgoing mail. Still testing my results.
Using the toggle to turn of the New Outlook still does not return you to the "Old" Outlook.
In the previous Outlook you could direct a search to current mailbox or all mailboxes. Now that is not available.
Five months later from the start of this topic, still no search All Mailboxes.
Couldn't have said it better. Microsoft's "New Outlook" has stripped away the efficiencies built into the prior version. Sometimes newer isn't always better. And all the while, Microsoft is telling us what they think we need, using phrases like "by design behavior". What does that even mean. As far as I can tell it's fancy IT-Speak for "our engineers are too young to understand and too lazy to implement what the customers actually need".
This passive agressive nonsense has to stop, there is no Microsoft community, just Microsoft doing whatever it likes and us having to suck it up.
This new outlook will kill productivity at every level. Even small businesses have multiple addresses, PST driven archives.
We need the option of keeping the old one and Microsoft needs to pull its head in.
