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 think he is referring to Hotmail now called Outlook
Surprised that a company cannot think of a different name for 2 distinct services Microsoft Outlook 365 and earlier Hotmail now called Outlook
I am also struggling to find a unified inbox and Sent folder
I’ve had enough of microsqueeze’s bs… Ive switched my business and personal accounts to thunderbird. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best thing I’ve found so far.
As soon as they start putting ads in the other office apps I’ll be moving to a competitor for those as well.
Sad. They used to have good productivity apps with a good user experience. Seems like they are trying to push away as many people as possible now. Maybe they’ll figure it out when enough people find out how much greener the grass is on the other side.
Linux looks better every day.
These instructions are not related to the “New” Outlook in 2024.!!!
I like thunderbird, but as I have multiple email accounts and multiple devices I have discovered and been trying out Blue Mail - it is available for Windows, Mac, and Android. So far so good :-)
Blue mail covers all the basics and make installation on other devices fairly automatic. the only problem i find is that it takes much longer to load up on windows 10 than old outlook or on android. for microsoft to semi force switching to a "new" crippled version of a good and functional existing app (old outlook) is unconscionable.
