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
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
You do realize people are asking about outlook for windows, right? Your advice only applies to the outlook app.
exactly my point: Windows points this as if it was a solution for all platforms, but it only works for mobile app.
Yeah, this direction is false. There isn't a unified inbox / "all accounts" option in the new outlook. Seems a really basic function to get rid of. The mobile version is fine and has a unified inbox function, but for some reason the windows version doesn't. It sucks, I'm hating it, I hope Microsoft changes this.
So after a lot of searching I decided to run the Android version of outlook on windows. The official windows support for apk files has sunseted, so you'll need to use an emulater like BlueStacksafter that use these instructions to install a full android 11 instance (by default on BlueStacks custom roms google won't let you install outlook).
Works great with the full mobile unified inbox, but you can't use PC shortcuts; you need to swipe with your mouse to archive and stuff.
Major downside is you're emulating and entire instance of android 11 using ram/cpu all sorts of system resources to run one app that's missing a lot of desktop outlook features just so you can get a unified mailbox.
I think it would be far more efficient on system resources to just bite it and use a different email client. :/
BUT, if you're married to using outlook, or you have 6 inboxes and NEED the unified, and you don't mind the fuss, this works.
The answer is NO. No, you can't do this on Outlook. Yes, this is a feature many people want. Yes, you can do this under iOS. You can't do this under Outlook because all our developers are busy cramming AI **** that nobody wants into all of our apps.
