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.

    It started fresh and I had to set up all the email accounts again.

    Microsoft needs to fix their NEW Outlook. Even when you open an email to send and realize you're on the wrong acct after you've typed in your message and attached a doc....it makes you do it all over again!!!!

    Why do t the just use the outlook mobile app on a PC? We'd all be so much happier.

    My bad! Actually it is not working. I realized that I had set up automatic email forwarding from my other accounts to my default email account in Outlook.

    Another thing I noticed is that if you have only one Inbox in Favorites, it will just show as Inbox. That's why I thought it was a unified Inbox. Once I added other Inboxes to Favorites, they show up as Inbox (acct1), Inbox (acct2), etc.

    Bummer! We definitely need this feature.

    Yes. The same happens in Calendar if you start entering details of an event in a calendar and then want to change the calendar - you have to start again

    Atrocious this hasn't been added after waiting so long. I requested this even before this trash app was forced onto me on a daily basis.

    The previous one was fine.

    What you get to spam us with ads on multiple accounts this way?
