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.

    Same issue here. As a small business, I needed to see if I had email from various sources. Because there was no way to see if I received new email for each account without opening them, I kept missing business because I did not know I had new email in various accounts and I get so busy it can be hard to remember to randomly check them all throughout the day.

    I am back to "old" outlook even though it has issues with one of the attorney's calendars, oddly enough, from another Microsoft account.

    If they used to be able to show the number of new email next to the email addresses, I am not sure why they cannot just turn that feature back on.

    I have to agree, that this needs a unified account... I don't understand why the hard time with this...

    I re-discovered how to do unified inbox for pop, and it is quite simple.

    The idea is to associate the same .pst data file with each email account. Thus, each email account downloads email to the one inbox in the data file.

    File->Account Settings->Account Settings... and from there choose the same data file for each account.

    I do not know if this can be done with IMAP.

    I just found out why I prefer Outlook 2010.

    under ***@ ********.com I have a folder marked Tims stuff and in that folder is ham radio….. in 2010 I can drag an email from ***@ ********.com to that ham radio folder. (*** address inserted for privacy in this reply only)

    In 365 I cannot do that, it says that operation is not supported….. so in 365 with multiple email addresses you are not allowed to file your emails where you want them.

    Unless you can tell me different that just proves that 365 is rubbish.
