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.
There is no apparent way to combine mail accounts in Windows 10 or 11. The capability is capable in Microsoft 365 as evidenced by Outlook on my Macbook Air computer. This situation seems strange since Outlook is fundamentally PC-based.
That's what I previously had in place -- forwarding my gmail account to my outlook.com account -- but Outlook removed the ability to reply to email from different accounts, so it is no longer possible to reply to a gmail email with the gmail account from the outlook.com account inbox. This makes forwarding useless unless you only plan to use the single account for all replies. It's very frustrating that the Android version of Outlook has a unified inbox, but the Windows and web versions of Outlook do not.
I have a feeling that this is not being moderated :-)
IS THERE ANYBODY THERE?!
You could always get a Mac! Outlook on MacOS actually does support unified mailbox! I’ve been using it’!
Best you could do is setting up the inboxes as favorites so they appear in the Favorite part. Deeply unsatisfying imo but other than that it's changing the mail client to Thunderbird of Betterbird who support unified inbox.
