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?

    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.

      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.

        Thanks for the tip. This will work for me now.
        No unified inbox is one thing, but not being able to open outlook with all emal accounts expanded was a a deal breaker for me. (not a big thing I know, its the ridiculousness of it all).

    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.
