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?

    The Outlook Team is tracking Unified Inbox as a feature request for future consideration. It's a commonly requested feature but the team has other priority work in front of it currently. The new and upcoming features are posted here, https://aka.ms/newOutlookComingSoon.  If you want to give direct feedback, click Help, Feedback, Make a suggestion.

    Thanks I will make a suggestion.
    I can manage without a unified inbox but the cross- inbox searching is a tool I have become used to and so I will be using the previous version of Outlook for now. I thought New Outlook would be set up for it because the drop down in the search bar starts with "current mailbox" - I'm not sure how much work is involved in making it "all mailboxes" but it's currently a change that's impacted my workflow.

    Thanks.

    I agree. They actually have this functionality on the outlook for mac and have had it for at least 2 years. Weird how Windows doesn't have this feature.

    That so odd how it doesn't have it. I see that the new outlook is about more streamlined but that feature is severely lacking. When are they ever gonna make it not beta mode too? It's been over a year...

    It is super odd, I agree. But it shows that the design team doesn't care about functionality of their product.
