change color/image of account
make it possible to select an individual color for the accounts instead of automatically assigned color. and make it possible to have a picture instead of color+letter.

Yes, let us have preferences just like the BB Hub inbox app. let us choose what three preferences in what order Flag/Reply/Delete. Also allows us to color code each email for identification of which email it came from. Organized people use all tools to keep organized.

Allow us to do the organizing by color and we all have our preferences 💜

let us change the color of those circles with the letters in them or, better yet, let us change them to images or icons

it would be awesome to be able to customize the graphic in the account circle in the mobile app version of outlook. all of my account names start with E so they all have an E In them. it would be nice if I could customize either the letter or supply a custom graphic for multiple accounts.

Swiping right opens icons giving you a choice of inboxes or combined one. Allowing these icons to be changed to represent your ISP's, will make this section more user friendly and easier to select. e.g. I have an Outlook.com account and another ISP - Vodamail. At the moment, the Outlook icon is a yellow G while the Vodamail one is a grey I - totally unrelated to the accounts /ISP's.

Yes, please. I have 2 email accounts in Outlook. I'd like to create my own color codes so they are more recognizable to me.

le icone tonde degli account come nel mio caso a causa dell'indirizzo mail che inizia con la stessa lettera si confondono facilmente.
precedentemente nel tondo c'erano due lettere e quindi si identificava più velocemente l'account desiderato.
adesso avendo solo una lettera e la stessa, diventa difficile differenziare velocemente un account dall'altro anche per via dei colori delle icone molto simili fucsia e arancio.
potessi personalizzare il colore magari mettendo un colore caldo e uno freddo aiuterebbe già a differenziare i due account, se poi si riuscisse ad avere la seconda lettera sarebbe ancora meglio.
tutto questo servirebbe per non mandare le mail da un account sbagliato. -

Currently each email account simply has a coloured icon with an initial. If you have multiple accounts with the same initial it quickly becomes hard to navigate to the correct one. Allowing the user to set a customised icon for each account would greatly fix this problem.

My idea was inspired by what the Samsung native email app does. This idea is very helpful for me because I can quickly identify the urgency of each email, especially when sent from a generic account (like to all users) with a vague subject. Thank you very much for taking suggestions.

bubble color (red and orange) are too similar and makes it difficult distinguishing between accts.

Be able to add two letters instead of just 1 letter when you have multiple mailboxes with same letter confusing

If you have multiple email addresses, the email icons on the left panel are all random colours which you cannot change.
The colours are randomly assigned by outlook and can actually be the same colour which is unhelpful in being able to quickly differentiate between email address. The random colours aren't appealing and affects the overall look of the design.
I hope the design team can add this feature. It may be small but it could fix a long irritation for many outlook users. -

Need to customize circles rappresenting the added account. On the lateral bar it will be better to quickly recognize the account we are going to select BEFORE clicking on. Give us the possibility to change the color, change the initial letter inside or choose an image to better identifying the account.

I just switched from the default email app on my Samsung S9+. I have multiple email accounts. Why doesn't the Outlook widget have a way to distinguish which email came from which account?

this would be such a welcome addition for a consolidated Mail app that focuses on having all your email account in one app. With so many different accounts recognising them in the side menu is very confusing. Especially because you cannot reorder them either.
