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

Typical modern programmers take a perfectly good program and turn it into a disaster! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Yes, I've seen quite a few such "solutions" being posted, but they don't recognise what the objective is i.e. one unified inbox.
I have been following this thread for a year or so now, and have given up on Outlook on Windows (still use it on Android), and have migrated to the free Spark for Windows email app, which works well, has a unified inbox, syncs perfectly with Gmail Calendar. It also has options like send later etc, plus a premium option if required featuring various AI enhancements etc for circa $60 annually.
Hi Chris,
Tried those exact solutions. Clunky and the 'unified search' is SUPER slow to populate every time it's selected. It is an option but I found it unworkable.
Ultimately ditching Outlook for em Client had been a game changer - however it was NOT my intention or desire to so, Microsoft drove me to by IGNORING years of customers asking for what every other provider offers.
I finally gave up waiting for Microsoft to offer a combined Inbox for the new Outlook, so I've moved on an purchased Mailbird. I thought it was absurd that Outlook has a combined Inbox on my Macbook, but not on my Windows laptop. Why would Microsoft offer this feature for a competitor's Operating System but not their own?
this is only for mobile Apps (Android an IOS)!! Stand alone PC and Web versions won't do that!
old version = last resource.
