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.
Yes. Sorry, you have to click on the email account to open the drop-down list of folders. I then selected my INBOX folder as the one I wanted in favorites. You can select any folder in the drop-down list by clicking the 3 dots and add to favorites.
I have multiple email accounts and they all have their own inbox, outbox, etc. This wastes an enormous amount of time trying to figure out which folder has the messages. Also, I have to look through every folder to see which one was sent or received.
I tried your fix and there is no unified box feature, much less an All Accounts option in my Outlook 365 Home and Office 2024.
It's worth mentioning that I paid more for the Outlook business version.
Please advise an alternate method that will actually work on my version!
This did not work for me. It takes a few more steps if you're just trying to see all your own emails in one location. I'm assuming I would have to share my inboxes with myself first and then it might appear, but that's just so dumb my body is refusing to do it for now.
Edit: yeah I shared my own inbox with myself so now it shows up. I can't add it to favourites though, god knows why, but it's better than nothing.
In case anyone needs this.... 11/11/2024- If you are looking for multiple email accounts - 1 inbox-
I tried this and it worked:
In the top right blue panel- left click on your name icon- it should be your first and last initial ( account manager- you).
click " open another mailbox"
type in the mailbox or email or it may prompt you for suggested contacts.
All in one panel- not found yet ... but to find them by search atleast.
hope that helps
From Microsoft : Thank you for trying the New Outlook for Windows. currently, the new Outlook does not support the capability to see mail from separate accounts in a single inbox. We are planning on support his feature in a future update (Don't hold your breath)
