New Outlook with multiple accounts

Anonymous

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 ended up going to Outlook Classic which works well. The trick was in setting up POP with Gmail and overcoming the Windows Hello intervening at every step of the way. I had to turn off Hello and then get the App Password from Google.

    Once that was done, I had to point all my emails to a single PST folder and then also decide how much of the older data I wanted to backfill into Outlook. My Gmail history is to big and would make the PST file unuseable.

    Not it works and I am not messing with it hopefully for a long, long time.

    This did not work for me. It takes a few more steps if you're just trying to see all your own emails in one location. I'm assuming I would have to share my inboxes with myself first and then it might appear, but that's just so dumb my body is refusing to do it for now.

    Edit: yeah I shared my own inbox with myself so now it shows up. I can't add it to favourites though, god knows why, but it's better than nothing.

    In case anyone needs this.... 11/11/2024- If you are looking for multiple email accounts - 1 inbox-

    I tried this and it worked:

    In the top right blue panel- left click on your name icon- it should be your first and last initial ( account manager- you).

    click " open another mailbox"

    type in the mailbox or email or it may prompt you for suggested contacts.

    All in one panel- not found yet ... but to find them by search atleast.

    hope that helps

    You pieces of sh*t replaced the Mail app with is BS slow AF new version and removed Unified Inbox. Don't even have the decency to say the truth (you literally forced us into switching). This is what happens when a company gets so big that doesn't give a **** what its users want and focuses on features with higher ROI.

    From Microsoft : Thank you for trying the New Outlook for Windows. currently, the new Outlook does not support the capability to see mail from separate accounts in a single inbox. We are planning on support his feature in a future update (Don't hold your breath)
