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.

    this is only for mobile Apps (Android an IOS)!! Stand alone PC and Web versions won't do that!
    old version = last resource.

    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).
