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!

    This doesn't work if you have mulit. emails (gmail, apple, outlook, yahoo, ect) It works great if you only have 2 email accts. I have 5! MS sucks, they need to fix this, but you know that will take at least a year, and then they will have a new and "improved" update and they will mess up some other feature we all use!

    Bad design. The product manager is not competent.

    Doesn't work. There are no move up or down buttons. Only Add account, Manage account, and Create new folder.

    I completely agree with you, Brian. The only reason I use Outlook is because I have 44 email accounts under 13 different domains and Outlook is/was the only client that could handle them all IN ONE PLACE (for decades). I have a particular order set in the <Favorites> section for scanning the most important inboxes at the top and the lesser down from there. In order to keep sane, I arrange the email ACCOUNTS to same order as the <Favorites>. Make sense?

    If it ain't broke, don't break it just to save 6 lines of code to make it run on a smartphone. Jeeez...
