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.

    I'm still having the same issues as well.

    But, this post and all the replies seems to be bugged too? It says 2024 on everyone's post and not 2014?

    I leave microsoft and outlook app if this feature is not available on the new outlook and they force us to use new outlook.

    Bye bye microsoft for a silly feature that is unique and a must for your customers.

    agreed. MS needs to work more with its regular users before coming out with "New and Improve". It may help MS but doesn't help the user.

    This is literally what happened to me right now. I was using Thunderbird with no issues, but because I use Outlook for work I decided to migrate. Big big mistake. I can't believe there's a whole thread with 20k views and 82 replies completly ignored by Microsoft.
