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.

    Yea Ive made the move to Blue Mail now, due to MS not supporting a simple unified inbox we have all been asking for since we were forced to use the horrid new outlook... with the annoying Ads to make me apply for credit cards... its a shame, it looked very userfriendly and looked fresh.
    Blue mail looks good, Free, no Ads.. and has a unified email inbox, you can get it in the Microsoft store.

    Blue Mail in windows store

    Blue Mail is very good. For my purposes i really like Edison Mail, but it does not support pop. I find the Blue Mail calendar poor and Edison Mail does not have an integrated calendar so you have to use something else.

    I'm still using the Old client, but it is unstable and soft-locks regularly. Sometimes it recovers, often it does not.

    I have an outlook.com, a couple of ISP hosted custom domain exchange accounts, an ISP hosted IMPA custom domain IMAP, and a few gmails.

    Can anyone suggest a better client than Outlook?

    If I get rid of Outlook I can probably get rid of my Office365 subscription too, at the time Outlook was only bundled with a higher tier O365 and I have been sitting on it for about 12 years!

    There are a few email clients I have seen, but some have a bit of a learning curve:

    • Mailbird - has a unified email management
    • Mozilla Thunderbird - is a free and open-source email client
    • eM Client - works okay
    • Spike - is a multi-platform application
    • Mailspring - is open-source and similar to MS Mail

    Thats just a few, and I haven't tried them all. Security might also be questionable but in general, I think you'll be fine to try one or two. My Mail app hasn't hit rock bottom yet, so I'm a stick with what I got. Good luck.
