What OS? Outlook for Android mobile aggregates 3 different emails in a unified inbox.they keep asking me to use the new outlook. But the new one does not have a unified email page like the old one. i , like many have multiple emails and like it all in one place .
what other free email provider has a unified inbox?
Been using Tbird for around 20 years. No issuesThunderbird — Free Your Inbox.
Thunderbird is a free email application that’s easy to set up and customize - and it’s loaded with great features!www.thunderbird.net
From what google tells me that is incorrect the "new outlook" for windows 11 doesnt have unified inbox support.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……

Yup, it's basically the online Outlook, just installed.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.
with the old mail app on windows i could link all my email address into a single inbox. with the new outlook one , they don't have it or i have not found it . yes on the left the email individual email panes are there , but for me one inbox is preferredI just switched to the new one to try out. You can switch back at anytime. Nothing has really changed as far as the overall layout. I still get my multiple email accounts in the left Folder pane.
Do you have this toggle switch?

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."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" ********.
