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

This issue is completely maddening for someone used to having a unified inbox. Why is this so hard Microsoft!?!?!?!?
Microsoft Moderators keep skirting this issue for years. They even closed multiple threads to stop people from commenting/complaining about it any more.
**** MS?
All of your competitors have unified inboxes, including YOUR OWN APPS for Mac and Mobile. How is it possible that your Windows Outlook Team can't seem to figure this out? People have been begging for it for YEARS.
Instead of:
**"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"**
It is more like:
**"It's broke, let's break it some more."**
His (Amgad Abdrabbu) instructions are for Android, not Windows. Unified inbox only works on Android, iOS and Mac. It does not work on any Microsoft operating systems. Go figure. I recommend BetterBird (a version of Thunderbird) if you want a unified inbox on Windows.
As everyone has already said, these instructions are nonsense. I've just bought a windows laptop because I needed to run some software and didn't want to partition my Mac. How ridiculous that such a giant corporation cannot get such a simple thing right. It's left me frustrated and convinced to avoid this OS as much as possible.
The triple bar simply closes the navigation pane and there is no house. I would rather go back to the old "Mail" app.
