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.

    Yea Ive made the move to Blue Mail now, due to MS not supporting a simple unified inbox we have all been asking for since we were forced to use the horrid new outlook... with the annoying Ads to make me apply for credit cards... its a shame, it looked very userfriendly and looked fresh.
    Blue mail looks good, Free, no Ads.. and has a unified email inbox, you can get it in the Microsoft store.

    Blue Mail in windows store

    From Microsoft : Thank you for trying the New Outlook for Windows. currently, the new Outlook does not support the capability to see mail from separate accounts in a single inbox. We are planning on support his feature in a future update (Don't hold your breath)

    You pieces of sh*t replaced the Mail app with is BS slow AF new version and removed Unified Inbox. Don't even have the decency to say the truth (you literally forced us into switching). This is what happens when a company gets so big that doesn't give a **** what its users want and focuses on features with higher ROI.
