Looking for "all mailboxes" in new outlook interface

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?

    Hello David Greenhaw,

    Greetings!

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community!

    For your concerned issue regarding "All Mailboxes" option in New Outlook, unfortunately it is unavailable in New Outlook. It is a by-design behavior. We'd suggest you to toggle off the "Try the new Outlook" button in New Outlook and swith to the classic Outlook as the New Outlook is a beta version and it is basically a web-based application. The look and feel come close to the Outlook Online version some features are still missing.

    I will also share feedback portal URL so that you can submit your feedback directly to our product developer team via using this Microsoft Feedback portal.

    Appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your time and cooperation.

    Wish you great success, good luck and much happiness in the future!

    You advised above to use the toggle switch to go back to the previous version in order to use this feature. In my version of Outlook it no longer has the toggle switch, so I am not able to go back to the previous version. This new version still does not have the "All Accounts" inbox. This is a super important feature for our team as we must handle mail for many other users. Without this, we must click each inbox individually to check for mail instead of being able to monitor all accounts in one inbox view. Is this important feature going to be restored?

    I came here with the same question. You say it's "a by-design behavior." It's a removed functionality. I'd hate to think Microsoft is intentionally making things less functional. :(

    It is by-design? Are you kidding? We've been waiting for a unified imap inbox for more than a decade. A workaround was searching across mailboxes. I have an old Macbook Air I use just to run a functional Outlook with unified imap inbox.
