Is there a combined inbox function for the Outlook app on Windows 11?

Hi Ayden Shurley,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A Community and thank you again for your kind words about the new Outlook for Windows app. I’m really glad to hear it’s working well for you overall.

I completely understand how helpful a unified inbox would be, especially if you're managing multiple accounts. Being able to see all your incoming messages in one place, like in the Outlook mobile app, it can make a big difference in productivity and ease of use.

Unfortunately, at this time, the new Outlook for Windows does not support a combined or unified inbox view across multiple accounts. I know this can be disappointing, especially since the feature exists in other Outlook experiences like Android and iOS. You're definitely not alone in wanting this functionality, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience it’s causing.

While a true unified inbox isn’t available yet, here’s a workaround that may help streamline your workflow:

1. Pin your most-used inboxes to the top of the folder pane:

• Right-click on the inbox folder of each account.
• Select “Pin to Favorites” to keep them visible at the top.

2. Switch to Classic Outlook (if needed):

• If a unified inbox is critical to your workflow, you can temporarily switch back to the classic Outlook for Windows, which allows more flexible inbox management (though still not a true unified inbox).

That said, Microsoft is actively listening to user feedback as the new Outlook continues to evolve. I highly recommend submitting your request directly through the app by following the steps below:

1. In the new Outlook for Windows, choose "Help".
2. Select “Feedback” > “Make a suggestion”.
3. In your message, mention that you’d like to see a Unified Inbox feature similar to what’s available in Outlook for Android/iOS.
4. Click Submit.

This ensures your voice is heard by the product team and helps prioritize future improvements.

Hope my information helps. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else I can assist with.
