Looking for "all mailboxes" in new outlook interface

I have started using the new Outlook desktop interface. In the older version I was able to enter this search term: Folder:inbox and select all mailboxes and it would display all my inboxes from different email accounts. I cannot find the equivalent in the new interface. Does it exist? How can I look at the inbox of all my accounts without having to do them one at a time?

    I came here with the same question. You say it's "a by-design behavior." It's a removed functionality. I'd hate to think Microsoft is intentionally making things less functional. :(

    You advised above to use the toggle switch to go back to the previous version in order to use this feature. In my version of Outlook it no longer has the toggle switch, so I am not able to go back to the previous version. This new version still does not have the "All Accounts" inbox. This is a super important feature for our team as we must handle mail for many other users. Without this, we must click each inbox individually to check for mail instead of being able to monitor all accounts in one inbox view. Is this important feature going to be restored?

    It is by-design? Are you kidding? We've been waiting for a unified imap inbox for more than a decade. A workaround was searching across mailboxes. I have an old Macbook Air I use just to run a functional Outlook with unified imap inbox.

    this is a very useful feature. It would be nice if implemented in the new outlook. I was a heavy user of this feature in the older versions

    Please let us know if this "by design" bug will be fixed. This strongly effects my work. I will be researching other mailboxes to use in the meantime.
