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.

Viewing all inboxes is very basic for email. Hey Microsoft developers, wake up and either tell everyone how to do it or fix it!
Its July 2025 and still the same problem exists with the new version of Outlook on my iPhone :(
As a last resort and to my surprise I found a solution!
I have 4 email accounts 2 x 365 and 2 x IMAP and I was struggling like everyone else to get an overview of all 4 in the Favourites box top left. I deleted the defaults (I'm sure you know how to do this) leaving me with one 365 account [Inbox] and one IMAP account [Inbox] and then I closed down Outlook. Started Outlook again and added a second 365 [inbox]. Shut down Outlook again and after restart I added the second IMAP [inbox]. I now have all four accounts' [inbox] in the Favourites box.
No skill, just persistence and good luck.
Even more frustrating was any other folder than an [Inbox] I could add without a problem.......
