![]() ![]() I imagine with the number of consultants on this board, I'm not alone in having to manage multiple addresses. Some add-ins only seem to work with the primary account, others only with the account that installed it (which has to be an Office 365 account), others work with multiple accounts, but not all for reasons unknown (for example, with my Zoom plugin, I'm able to send meeting invites from 4 of the 7 accounts, but not 3 others, including two of the 365 accounts, and the email account that is linked to the Zoom account) I typically start by dragging the email from the correct account to the calendar, but then it wants to put it on the default calendar, not the account that the email came from.Ĥ) Working with add-ins is weird and inconsistent across accounts. To open a new Outlook window, simply right-click the additional folder you wish to open and choose Open In New Window. ![]() I've made the Inbox and Sent folder for the 5 active accounts "favorites" which helps a bit, but is messy and makes navigating to the non-favorite accounts difficult, since I don't have much vertical space on my laptop screen.Ģ) Searching for a message across accounts is also not great, since I have to always change the default to all accounts.ģ) Calendaring events onto the right calendar is a multistep process. The other two are legacy accounts that aren't active, but that I still need to monitor for the stray email that is important that comes in.ĭealing with this in Desktop Outlook is really messy in a bunch of different ways:ġ) The most obvious is the lack of a unified inbox, which makes even seeing which accounts have new messages difficult. Five of these accounts are active enough that I receive and reply to mail daily. ![]() You will need some credentials for these mail accounts to include a password, username of both accounts and IP address information about your server that is running the services at home. In total I have 7 accounts that I manage in Outlook, three Office 365 accounts through Microsoft, one 365 account through a partner (GoDaddy), two GSuite accounts, and an IMAP account. You can start with a Gmail account that you are using and then easily add an email account in Outlook or on Google Address Book. I have a lot of professional work accounts for different organizations I work with, and managing them from within Outlook 2016 is difficult, and sapping productivity.
