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 am having the same problem. Can’t find the House and the Three Lines don’t do it either. Help!!!
That is the way mine is setup. I have 4 email accounts, 2 Hotmail and 2 Gmail, setup right under my Favorites folder. They are Inbox (@Hotmail.com); Inbox (@Gmail.com); Inbox (@Gmail.com); and Inbox (xxx@Hotmail.com).
They show a blue number at the right of them with the number of new emails since I last looked at them. Just add your email accounts and the put the Inbox folder of each account under Favorites, then delete any folders under Favorites that you don't want. You now have a quick look at any new emails and the full email folders are down below them.
I don't want a unified inbox. I like being able to see them as separate. Is this possible?
If not, I think I will move on to using a different application.
Just wanted to give an update as I too was frustrated with Microsoft Outlook over the the inability to function like I wanted. I had a strange configuration as for years I had Classic Outlook that was part of Office setup where my inbound pop3 server was Gmail but my output SMTP server was Outlook as my Gmail account only gets mail that was forwarded from my outlook account and on replies I wanted the sent message to show that it was coming from my Outlook email even if they examined the message data. My problem began when Microsoft switched from passwords to OAUTH2 and they didn't add OAUTH2 as part of the manual setup for POP3. After looking for a unified imbox solution where all of my mail from all of my email accounts could be displayed in one common inbox and finding no solution I switch to Thunderbird and then to Betterbird and that product works flawlessly for me and if I have to switch at some point to a Linux distro because I'm not going to junk my laptop because it can't be upgraded to Windows 11, I know that my current configuration will work equally well there. Note that I also just switched from OneNote to Joplin for my notes as that's another app being impacted over Windows 10 and Joplin works just as well as OneNote and it's open source and works on all platforms. Not happy with Microsoft .
Those instructions are not valid.
