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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
