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.

    SO FRUSTRATING!!! @MicrosoftSupport can you please fix this issue!??

    We need a single view for all email accounts! In addition, the item view shows new emails (new unread items) and does not show opened emails (once read), at simple view I have to click on the account to see all opened emails. Terrible UX!

    Please fix!

    Blue Mail for android is fantastic. By far my first choice for android email. It is not perfect and I have found other better calendars. Blue Mail for Windows has so many problems that I cannot list them. I have been trying it every few months for several years and it gets updated but my biggest problems with it never seem to get addressed.

    I am using Windows 10. Can anyone confirm if unified inbox is working on windows 11. According to the following link, unified inbox exists. It would be awful on behalf of Microsoft if it works on 11, but not 10.

    I think MS are playing with words. Unified Accounts means that you can see all your emails in one app - not in one unified or linked Inbox.

    If the feature doesn't come in an upcoming release as promised (refer comment in blogs on IMAP accounts, particularly reference to GMail) I am moving away from the Microsoft platform and software.

    BTW MS should have a more active and proactive participation on user forums - they are generally MIA
