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!

    I just removed and re-added the accounts in the order I wanted. It didn't take too long. Thanks for the suggestion! They should have made this easier though. :)

    If you click on the ... and select manage, you can choose a account (not the 1st account) as the primary account and it will move that account to the 1st postion.

    I also found this out. This deficiency makes me want to switch back to the old Outlook. They need to add the option so we can re-arrange our e-mail accounts according to our different needs and/or preferences.

    In the setting menu select Accounts>Edit (in top right corner)>Drag & drop accounts in whatever order you choose.

    There is no edit option under accounts.

    Your accounts

    Automatic replies

    Signatures

    Categories

    Mobile devices

    Storage

    Are the only options

    You can also see add accounts

    And manage for existing accounts
