What OS? Outlook for Android mobile aggregates 3 different emails in a unified inbox.
I have used Outlook for years. I have multiple email accounts that I access thru that one app. Even my gmail account is accessed thru Outlook.I haven’t had that issue even when they upgraded recently. But for clarification, I do use the “paid” version (Microsoft 365 suite) for this. I do believe the free version is similar……
Been using Tbird for around 20 years. No issuesThunderbird — Free Your Inbox.

From what google tells me that is incorrect the "new outlook" for windows 11 doesnt have unified inbox support.

I've always been a fan of Postbox. It started off using the thunderbird source code but then added a lot of polish to make it a really nice UI. Haven't used it because it only works on windows/mac.

Thunderbird looks like this (just the way I have it set up)
If you mean the new outlook app in Windows 11 then there is a setting to link more than one account to your in box. What threw me at first was where to click to open up settings. Make sure the left most column is wide enough to display the settings icon.
The "new" Outlook is just basically a web wrapper, isn't it?
No local caching, PST file support (at least initially), or other things that made the classic Outlook an overwrought, but powerful app?
I guess that's why they give the new one away for free now, vs. using it to differentiate the better versions of Office as in the past.

Yup, it's basically the online Outlook, just installed.
At work we have Comcast internet but awhile back they updated their email and forcing Outlook which is web based, previously I had Thunderbird configured but with their updates you now have to use a web browser to login and it doesn't allow you to use anything else... I hate it, there is POP which is old and largely being replaced nowadays with Imap.
I can still use it at home but because work is a business acct they have a different set of rules. Dad has gotten used to it but he totally hated it at first and was threatening to drop Comcast over it, even tried talking with Verizon about switching back to them but I don't know what happened there and he just signed an agreement with Comcast so we're stuck for awhile.
If I had my way I would switch to Glo Fiber, they offer internet and voip. I don't know if we can get connected just yet but they might do it for a business and they have been connecting others in town but we are on the outskirts.

If start up my laptop with the wifi off, the new outlook app launches and displays all my emails so they must be stored locally in some form.
"old" outlook program for windows supports PST. The new one does not yet. They've been trying to get rid of it for a while, you know the whole "we want your data to stay on our servers so you have to pay a subscription" ********.

What if your mail server is only POP ? I use Apple computers so while we have MS Office products, there are some differences in the programs although Word and Excel don't seem much different. There's definitely shortcomings with Outlook on Mac though. They've been offering this "New Outlook" for years and it actually loses features that the "old" version had ! That said, I thought it mostly a difference in the interface and that underneath was still mostly the same.
