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!

    Thanks for that, but where one has multiple email addresses, it means you have to ensure they are all added in the required order, instead of being able to move them to suit.

    Would be really great if Microsoft could actually add an "easy to move" function.

    Also need a "combination inbox" function.

    I had the same problem and was able to move the desired email account by clicking the "..." more options button next to the desired email account that you want to list at the top. From the drop down menu select Manage Account and then select the "Manage" next to the email account you want on top. Then select the Set as Primary Account. Close Outlook and reopen. That should do the trick.

    Thanks, but these options are absent in the new Outlook

    No surprises there, the "New" Outlook IS pretty naff.

    Where is the "consolidated/combined InBox" feature that many other email client apps have?

    etc., etc.
