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 found this thread trying to find a way to see all email from all accounts in one inbox like we can in the mobile app, which I still don't see how to do in New Outlook on Windows 11. But to answer the original poster's question, you can add each inbox to your Favorites (and rename them so they're not all called "Inbox" in your favorites list). You'll then see which ones have new mail, and you can click on them to be in that inbox.

    Yeah I guess that's the best solution, but then you have to do that for junk and archives to? Unmanageable with 5 email accounts according to me.

    It's funny how the app that is on their own OS is the one that's worst. Like others have said this feature exists on Outlook apps for other OS but not their own.

    Seems like it should be an easy fix to. Just add a view that combines all. They've already solved on other platforms!

    Mail just stopped working. Therefore, I am uninstalling Outlook and going to Thunderbird.

    Mail had a plain, simple innterface perfect for the home user. Outlook was great when I had an echange account but I don't need all that extra functionality anymore.

    The main feature I need now is a unified inbox!!!

    There is no unified listing of email accounts in Windows or 11. That only exists in Outlook for Apple products. It continues as a major problem for Windows that remains unaddressed.
