Note 1: Optionally you can change the arrangement from “By Outlook Data File” to “Date” or any another field by right clicking on the Arranged By column.
You can select this manually from the Ribbon after clicking in the Search field, but doing it via keyboard shortcuts will be faster. The trick to create a “Unified Inbox” experience is to use the “All Mailboxes” search scope. To be more precise 2 keyboard shortcuts + 2 clicks. We can however use the Instant Search feature to generate such a list on-demand within a few seconds. Outlook doesn’t offer such a feature and sadly Search Folders are limited to the folder set or mailbox that they are created in. Is there any way to create a special view or Search Folder which combines all these Inboxes into a single list of (unread) emails? This sometimes makes it hard to keep track of all the latest (unread) messages as it requires me to visit each Inbox and sometimes sub folders as well. This is a mix of Exchange, POP3, IMAP and accounts so they each have their own Inbox folder.
I'm using Outlook with multiple accounts configured.
