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.

    I’ve had enough of microsqueeze’s bs… Ive switched my business and personal accounts to thunderbird. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best thing I’ve found so far.

    As soon as they start putting ads in the other office apps I’ll be moving to a competitor for those as well.

    Sad. They used to have good productivity apps with a good user experience. Seems like they are trying to push away as many people as possible now. Maybe they’ll figure it out when enough people find out how much greener the grass is on the other side.

    Linux looks better every day.

    I think he is referring to Hotmail now called Outlook

    Surprised that a company cannot think of a different name for 2 distinct services Microsoft Outlook 365 and earlier Hotmail now called Outlook

    I am also struggling to find a unified inbox and Sent folder

    I have been asking unified inbox for ten years now. Only once i got a reply saying it's hard within the classical outlook a it has something to do with the mapi profiles and local data stores. But guys Come ON!!! 10 ****ing Years!!! It might be hard but this is not freaking rocket science

    It appears that the moderator's answer only applies to the mobile version of Outlook. Not Windows.
