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.
The "(usually represented by three horizontal lines or a house icon) in the upper left-hand corner" instruction is accurate only for the mobile version of Outlook. As others have stated, the horizontal lines button shows/hides the Sidebar and there is no house icon in the Desktop version of Outlook (new).
this is only for mobile Apps (Android an IOS)!! Stand alone PC and Web versions won't do that!
old version = last resource.
Copilot will solve all the problems....hahahahaha
For me the problem is twofold:
1 notification as you describe and
2 the loss of function where Outlook displays messages from multiple email accounts in to one linked (unified) inbox.
It is also unacceptable that Microsoft representatives on the forum have not provided any meaningful advice or updates for so long.
I have been reading this thread right up to now, as started by the original poster. Yet most people here keep talking about a Unified Inbox. That is not the problem the OP was having. Harry TTT graphically displayed the problem on June 23 in his post. This problem is the same one I am having. The New Outlook does not show new email count for each individual account. This is a killer for me.... I need to glance quickly at my several email accounts and know which ones have new email.
For this reason I delete the New Outlook and go back to Mail for Windows, which has worked very well for me.
