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 also gave up, reverting to Outlook Classic and pop access in order to be able to have all mailboxes going to the same place!
    Just hopping that one day Microsoft will understand what users want...

    I've given up on Microsoft to correct the problem I'm now using BlueMail

    Interestingly, this works fine on MacOS Outlook! I wish the Windows version would do it.

    I'm getting a good experience with Spark Mail for Windows and it has an unified inbox, plus syncs with Google Calendar. It also has frequent software updates. I like it.
