I want to know how to rearrange, move, the multiple accounts I have in Outlook. Simply move one from the top to the bottom and vice versa. What would seem like a very simple task. The accounts I have are two Microsoft accounts and one Gmail account. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. By the way this is the "New Outlook" so I've found you cant just click and drag the account like before. I'm guessing they require you to go back to school and get a masters in Computer Science to perform what should be a fairly simple task, Anyways, thank in advance for the help!

    Dragging and dropping does not work on New Outlook for PCs. They said it would come out in a later update.

    Absolutely ridiculous to MS to have made rearranging email accounts so challenging!

    I DON'T like the favorites option as it appears to visually create duplicate email accounts.

    I used to love outlook-I will revert to the older version.

    I put each account's Inbox in the Favorites section above the mailboxes. Those can be rearranged easily just like you'd expect.

    I tried that already but it doesn't move. Cannot drag them up or down.
