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.
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Instruction is non relevant for Windows it's weird that Microsoft it's on app does not have the future that they have in Mac OS ios and Android which is unified inbox. The instruction above is for Mac OS.
consider the older outlook? evrytime you need it, you need to explain why!
What a waste
- Consider the Older Outlook:
- If the new Outlook’s limitations are causing inconvenience, you can continue using the older version of Outlook that allows you to link and view all inbox emails from multiple accounts seamlessly3.
I wish this were true. Got to this page looking for exactly that info: how to achieve a "unified inbox" across email accounts in "traditional" Outlook 365. Everything I read tells me it was never possible, so apparently even the "new improved" Outlook is not one iota better. MS: everything changes all the time, but never improves, only becomes more confusing...
Complete and utter lies
The Unified Inbox option does not exist for the new Outlook software that MS has forced upon my workstation. Either you are referencing a different version of Outlook that I'm using or the documentation being shared is just completely wrong.
Like others have noted in this thread, all I can see after clicking on the three horizontal lines in the upper left-hand corner of the screen are my favorites, the current email accounts I have (redacted from the attached screenshot), and the option to "Add Account". There is no All Accounts option.
This is very disappointing and an absolute blunder from the team that delivered this software.
