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 gave up on Outlook and this Unified Inbox problem. MS is unable to fix this. The easy solution is to install BetterBird from betterbird dot eu - this is an optimised version of Thunderbird. It also solves some issues of Thunderbird with the authentication issues since the changes from dear MS. I have 20 email accounts from different providers and it has been working without problems for 6 months.

    If you're going to try some other email apps you may want to avoid BlueMail. I tried installing it and I couldn't get it setup correctly, so I decided to uninstall it. Nothing in the START menu for BlueMail. Checked Programs in Control Panel and nothing there. Relauched the setup disk and it had an uninstall option which only removed part of it. When I booted up in the morning there was a message saying me.bluemail.win could not be launched. Had to hack the registry to remove it. Very poor setup process.

    I too just gave up on MS with the lack of support or outreach at all. Thunderbird has been quite easy to adapt to and may in fact be more robust. I'm still using all of the other 365 programs, but Outlook just is not cutting it anymore. If you are on the fence, you should give it a try.

    I don't even have the three dots in 365 Home and Office 2024. I can right click though and add the in/outboxes to favorites. Still have to click on every inbox to check messages that should be easily unified into a single inbox like every other email client out there. This is an enormous oversight by MS - particularly with the more costly business version. What businesses have only one email account?
