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.
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Best you could do is setting up the inboxes as favorites so they appear in the Favorite part. Deeply unsatisfying imo but other than that it's changing the mail client to Thunderbird of Betterbird who support unified inbox.
I assume given the amount of negative feedback on the issue that Microsoft are well aware and the lack of helpful comment on the issue or progress on a solution from them over a long period of time is worrying. They are either incompetent or don't care for users once signed up.
I too have the same problem. Is there a workable solution?
This is literally what happened to me right now. I was using Thunderbird with no issues, but because I use Outlook for work I decided to migrate. Big big mistake. I can't believe there's a whole thread with 20k views and 82 replies completly ignored by Microsoft.
agreed. MS needs to work more with its regular users before coming out with "New and Improve". It may help MS but doesn't help the user.
