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 moved to Mozilla Thunderbird.
Handles multiple accounts really well: proper unified folders ie Unified Inbox (a single list of all your inbound emails, with - if you want - a column showing which account), Unified Sent Items etc. Able to view individual accounts too.
Can reply from different account.
Can accept meeting invites into a different account.
Search function v efficient.
It isn't perfect (eg attach files doesn't give shortcut to recents), but A LOT better than so called New Outlook.

2025-02-26T20:47:08+00:00 I also went over to Thunderbird after struggling with the new outlook for a few months. Thunderbird is very good, in some ways better than MS Outlook, and handles the combined inbox perfectly. A few quirks and a very short learning curve, but I really think I prefer it to the old, better Outlook and its no contest with the new Outlook. Even if MS fixes this issue, I am pretty sure I'm not going back just out of spite for the complete disregard of their customers.
