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 has a feature work item for Search, All Mailboxes scope but there is no ETA yet. There is a lot of feedback already for this functionality but if you want to add to it click Help, Feedback in New Outlook. New Outlook is built from the ground up, so it takes time to build out everything we have in classic Outlook. Just wanted to acknowledge this is tracked for future work.

    That's good to know. Searching all mailboxes is a workaround because Outlook have a common inbox like Outlook for iOS. If they are building this from the ground up, somebody really messed up not including this feature in the specifications.

    If you are using new Outlook and you should go to left side upper bar - click on help then ''Go to classic outlook''.

    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.

    other priority work? Are you serious? Those people who decide to kill the most important and necessary functions for people - why do they still work for the company? Why do you waste time on incomprehensible "priority" tasks if no one will use your client because it does not have the BASIC necessary functions?

    All of us who are shocked by what is happening here do not need to be a programmer and a space-level manager to understand the basic things that any email client in 2024 should be developed with functions:

    1. General inbox(incoming and sent) for all accounts
    2. General search for all accounts
    3. When closing the application, minimize it to the tray and work in the background - outlook new does not even have such a simple function
    4. Synchronization of all accounts(outlook, gmail, icloud) with the cloud (already implemented only on PC app - not android)

    All these vital functions are not in your roadmap, why would people need other useless functions if they won't use outlook(new) because of the lack of the above functions? Your programmers install a salon and an air conditioner in a car that doesn't drive - do you understand this?

    I am very, very sorry that your leadership will never see this message and will not see the general anger of the people - this is the result of your work
