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.

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.
this is a hopeless explanation. The instruction in step 1.2 is meaningless, there is no "Account icon". how about trying again?
These instructions are not valid
I have a feeling that this is not being moderated :-)
IS THERE ANYBODY THERE?!
One of the most frustrating things about being a paid Microsoft customer is that they just don't listen to customer feedback. There are so many complaints about simple, fixable things that are either massive oversights or just plain bad design choices.
If you charge a one-off fee for software, I'm fine with it never changing or getting better. What I paid for is what I get. But when you pay for a subscription, it begs the question, what exactly am I paying for?
Nothing ever gets fixed and nothing ever gets better.
If you could spare maybe 1 or 2 devs from the AI or spam desktop ads, I'm sure this could have been resolved by now. The fact that even Mac users have access to a unified inbox is just bizarre.
Any users with suggestions for alternatives to Office365, please leave them here. It would be great if everyone reading could know that not only are users angry, there are also better places to spend their money.
It's a joke to be honest. Unified inbox works fine on my android phone's Outlook, but not the desktop Windows one - pathetic. Mailbird looks good - once Microsoft's Mail is retired I'll switch to them if Microsoft still have not remedied the Outlook situation.
