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.

    Try Spark for Windows - I've been using it for a year on Windows 11. It has a unified mailbox, syncs with Gmail Calendar, and has all kinds of snazzy features. From what I gather it is from a Ukrainian company, and I give it top marks.

    Typical modern programmers take a perfectly good program and turn it into a disaster! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    They're never gonna fix it. Switch to Mailbird; it works great.
