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.

    Yeah, this direction is false. There isn't a unified inbox / "all accounts" option in the new outlook. Seems a really basic function to get rid of. The mobile version is fine and has a unified inbox function, but for some reason the windows version doesn't. It sucks, I'm hating it, I hope Microsoft changes this.

    exactly my point: Windows points this as if it was a solution for all platforms, but it only works for mobile app.

    You do realize people are asking about outlook for windows, right? Your advice only applies to the outlook app.
