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!

    The option of making an account the 'Primary' one only moves that one account to the top. What if I have several accounts?

    Without the ability to re-order all of these accounts, my list is in total disarray. It's not even in the order I had it in my old Outlook client.

    This is such a stupid oversight. Come on Microsoft, you're better than this!

    Microsoft I was excited when you sent a note (yet again) about the new Outlook and I have just (again) changed over.
    Unfortunately, it still isn't right. I've spent an hour or so this morning trying to reorder the email accounts.
    I love the old saying "measure twice - cut once" - may I respectfully suggest that you do exactly this before saying it is ready.

    Thank you very much for your reply Shalom. The "..." option next to the accounts is what I was used to as well but in this new version they seem to have gotten rid of those. If you have any other tips I would love to hear them. As difficult as it is to imagine maybe they just forget to put them in??

    Agreed Brian.
    I have been very reluctant to swap to the new outlook, it still continues to be very frustrating.
    I also want to change the order of the accounts in the new outlook.
