New Outlook with multiple accounts

Hi,

In the new outlook, I have 6 email accounts. They all transferred in with the transition just fine. However, there does not appear to be a way to know which email accounts have new mail in them other than clicking on each account. And to add injury to insult, when you click on an account, you get another drop down menu.

I am in windows 11 and the 365 subscription version of outlook.

I absolutely need to see at a glance which accounts have new email in them on the main account screen. When an account does have new email, I need to be able to click on that email and have the inbox open with one click and not give me another menu to click through.,

Without these features you are adding a ridiculous amount of time to what should be a two second glance to check emails.

These are not wants, they are absolute needs.

Can anyone help? Or is time to find a new app?

Any help appreciated.

    I have to agree, that this needs a unified account... I don't understand why the hard time with this...

    I re-discovered how to do unified inbox for pop, and it is quite simple.

    The idea is to associate the same .pst data file with each email account. Thus, each email account downloads email to the one inbox in the data file.

    File->Account Settings->Account Settings... and from there choose the same data file for each account.

    I do not know if this can be done with IMAP.

    I have used Postbox for years. It has had it's fair share of problems and the last problem (read messages remain marked as unread and you have to manually mark every message as read) made me look at the new Outlook again.

    But: STILL NO UNIFIED INBOX.........

    And the conditional formatting rule is not supported for accounts other than MS. (Oh, let's just use our power to bully people into using MS accounts only)

    Mickeysoft is doing a great job in alienating people.

    I am using Windows 10. Can anyone confirm if unified inbox is working on windows 11. According to the following link, unified inbox exists. It would be awful on behalf of Microsoft if it works on 11, but not 10.
