Unified Inbox for Outlook 2016

Outlook needs a unified Inbox similar to the Outlook for iOS app. For those of us with multiple email accounts it would be very convenient to have all emails arrive in one inbox; perhaps color-coded to show which account they were delivered to.

    Just went from Mac to surface pro
    Discovered that Outlook won't allow me to have a unified I box
    Wish I had stayed with Mac
    Complete waste of time and money
    Clearly Microsoft don't understand or care about the functionality of a their product
    What a joke

    I've just paid for an annual subscription to Office 365, I've downloaded Outlook to my PC and there's no unified inbox like thee is in the outlook app for ios, can't this be sorted like asap, what a ballache.

    Incredibly. I am about to install eClient just because of this reason.

    Is Microsoft gone Crazy in not having this feature. A unified inbox is in Windows 10 mail, Ihoe, OUtlook phone. BUt not in 365???? Tired of being ignored.

    Hard to believe this doesn't exist in Outlook. And this request was posted in 2016? Hoping MS can address this.

  • Russell Ziegler commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please! This is such a basic feature that is available in just about every single mail application except outlook on Windows for whatever reason.

    I'm flummoxed! Why no unified inbox (and other folders) in Outlook for Windows, when I have it in Outlook for iOS and Mac??
    Like many people nowadays, I have multiple email addresses I have to check regularly. Ironically in my case they are all Office 365 ones. Yet when I try to access my email on Outlook for Windows, I end up flipping between the different accounts.
    If Microsoft determined that unified inbox functionality was important enough to include in its competitor's platform (Apple), why not its own?!!! Please can we at least know whether this functionality is on the roadmap?

    Yes, please. My desktop is jealous of my phone.

    It is incredible that Outlook 365 does not have a unified email. Why force people to use of other email programs?

  • Cristian Damian commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    We need unified inbox for all Outlook accounts. This function is valid for mobile app, but for Outlook 365 or 2019 no.

    link inboxes because then it would be more handy to search through files quicker

    Ansicht: kombinierter Posteingang

    Eine Ansicht, welche alle Mails in einem virtuellen Posteingang bündelt und gemeinsam anzeigt. Die Betonung liegt auf Virtuell. Es ist einfach nur eine Datenabfrage aller Konten und die gemeinsame Darstellung in einer Übersicht.

    Vorteile:

    Effizienzsteigerung durch Ersparnis von Klicks
    Konkurrenz:

    Ich kenne keine App, welche dieses Feature auf dem Smartphone nicht anbietet
    Thunderbird ist nur aus diesem Grund mein Standardprogramm auf einem Windows PC, da es dieses Feature unterstützt
    Apple bietet dieses Feature auch schon ewig an

    View: combined inbox

    A view that bundles all mails in a virtual inbox and displays them together. The emphasis is on virtual. It is simply a data query of all accounts and the common presentation in an overview.

    Benefits:

    Increased efficiency by saving clicks
    Competitor:

    I don't know of any app that doesn't offer this feature on my smartphone
    Thunderbird is my standard program on a Windows PC for this reason only, because it supports this feature
    Apple has been offering this feature forever
