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.
Can you recommend another email handler to replace outlook? This version is poorly designed and executed. I don't care about AI deciding what email I need to see. Your priority should be in supplying what your customers need, not what is new and trendy but nonfunctional.
Microsoft's translation of "by design": We are going to do what is easiest for us and don't care what functionality the customer loses, no matter how much it will lessen the value of our software.
Microsoft's "by design" behavior in the last few years makes absolutely no sense for the end user. Things just keep getting worse and worse.
I finally gave up and once again moved back to Outlook classic. This has to be the worse redesign of software I have ever experienced. The interface is extremely not intuitive, Too many features are not included like the search all mailboxes or simply sorting your email accounts in the left panel. Maybe it's time for Microsoft to give up software development and concentrate on Xbox, etc.
Wow. ALMOST got me to switch to the new Outlook. Didn't find any blockers in the first couple of days of usage. However, now I'm back to the old interface.
Why? Got three email accounts in use and can't live without cross-inbox search. Can't be that hard to run parallel searches.
