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

It is really funny. I have been using Thunderbird for 15 years.
Today I wanted to migrate to Outllook. Spent 4 hours transferring folders and creating accounts to realize, that it does not do UNIFIED FOLDERS and have to go back to Thunderbird
What????
In Thunderbird I use one simple click to do that. This is ridiculous
Copilot will solve all the problems....hahahahaha
Agree completely.
Blue Mail for android is fantastic. By far my first choice for android email. It is not perfect and I have found other better calendars. Blue Mail for Windows has so many problems that I cannot list them. I have been trying it every few months for several years and it gets updated but my biggest problems with it never seem to get addressed.
You don't know what you're talking about. Yes, Microsoft keeps creating new products and naming them the same as the old ones and the old one becomes the new one and the new one becomes the old one. It's all very confusing. They did this with 365 also. Microsoft is great for confusing the h out of everyone. It so difficult to try and find an email in their program. Mailbird did a very good job - had no problem implementing a unified inbox. I spend all day looking for emails. There isn't even a universal search! Archaic and inefficient as all else.
