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!

    Ultimately, as Microsoft products continue to deteriorate compared to the heady days of Windows 7 and Office 2010, it seems easier to give up and switch to Open Source products such as Thunderbird. Not ideal, but better than suffering the lack of functionality of "New Outlook". Also means all your emails are not being copied to MS (for whatever purpose! Unless of course you are using MS email - outlook.com, hotmail in various guises, live, etc.) Again, lots of non-MS services available.

    That isn't useful in my situation as it just shows me the word inbox and I have a bunch of shared boxed and need to be able to see the actual name of the entire shared email folder.

    I also tried to delete and re-add, but I can not delete anything so it will be old version or bust I guess?

    yes, I forgot I'm still on legacy, I just turned on new outlook though and I click and hold on an account and dragged, then did again and again and moved all of my account around. It was much easier.

    I have new outlook on Mac
