Unified inbox in new Outlook for Windows
Having a brand new email app (although it is not "real" appliaction per se) without Unified Inbox / Inbox Grouping option is really, really bad.
Outlook for Android have unified inbox for years.
Old Mail app in Windows had great possibility for grouping accounts which was even better than simple unified Inbox option available on Android or usually available in other apps.
People having just one email use webmail anyway... And people with real need for mail appliaction usually have several emails and want some grouping at least.
Hell, even naming of favorite folders is not available ?!? Can we move past 2012?

This lack of unified Inbox in the Windows version of Outlook is very difficult to understand. It's available on the Mac version, and the Android version, but not for their flagship Windows version.
Maybe the MacOS development team need to teach the Windows development team how to code modern day solutions. - roberttosullivanCopper Contributor
Is this an actual joke?
Forcing an email client with no unified inbox????? are we in the 90s? making everyone's day less convenient?
staggered. may aswell buy a mac.

Aleksandar_038 At this point, I am convinced Microsoft programmers are simply not capable of programming this unified inbox feature. I used to think they had better things to program, and then may be they were lazy. However, I'm not even mad now. They are just incapable of programming.

Which is completely useless, we know, as experiences show, no one cares at MS. NO ONE.

The only way I have been able to come close to a workaround is to right click each account's Inbox folder and add to Favorites. Give me 5 accounts with numbers of Unread.

I tried this and can only get 2 favorites to show up...but each account's emails still only show up by themselves.
