That's awesome! I'm glad this helped.

I have a similar issue. Using the older version of Outlook, everything works fine. Using the new version (says Outlook New), I'm restricted to one account. I'm just going to continue to use the older version for now.

It feels like Google, Microsoft, and Apple are always trying to sabotage each other. When I go to Gmail in my Chrome browser, I clicked the Gear in the upper right and then See all Settings. The far right tab lets you mess with pop and imap settings for Gmail. I have my imap enabled here while my pop is unchecked. I remember this being a hassle and these settings were the key.

@JeffPospisil yes. I agree. Wish that outlook place the same settings on the imap to merge the emails into 1 in a simple way

I'm not sure I understand the question. I have had troubles with Office 365 sometimes not allowing me to add multiple email accounts to my Outlook if the email account wasn't setup correctly. I'm not sure how to fix this though.

It depends on your setup. If you go to File >> Account Settings >> Account Settings, select the email address and click "Change...". If it's a POP?SMTP, you need to check "Remove from server when deleted..." For IMAP/SMTP, I have "Purge items when switching folders." Another thing I do is have my Deleted folder empty when I exit Outlook. This is under File >> Options >> Advanced. The check box is near the top. For me, these settings seem to work to keep everything synced between two computers, a tablet, and my phone.

@@JeffPospisil My question is, if I am downloading AND deleting a message from the SMTP server upon 'checking new mail', I basically cannot use two computers because the messages will only download to the first to check

​@@alejocazu6 On my setup, the emails download but are not deleted from the server until I delete them on one of the computers. For a POP/SMTP, I had to check "Leave a copy of messages on the server."

@@JeffPospisil So back to my original question - if my SMTP has limited space and I must delete messages from it upon checking, I am screwed, right? :( It was so easy with Outlook online downloading these messages.........

@@alejocazu6 Yep, I don't think I have a solution. Besides emptying the Trash, the other I think I do to free up space is to delete my old Sent emails...those older than 3 or 6 months.

I had something similar at work where I have one for personal and a generic one that I share with people for Benefits@ and Finance@. On the Outlook side, you can add as many of these as you want with no licensing issue. The extra cost usually comes from your email service provider. I use WordPress which charges an extra $1.28/month for each mailbox. With Office 365, if I recall correctly, you can buy cheaper licenses for the extra mailboxes.

I do something similar. I have an email account with my name and then a generic Finance@ email that I share with a coworker. On the Outlook side, you only need the one license. Each email should have separate logins. For actually setting up the separate email accounts, that depends on who you go through. I think in WordPress, I get up to five accounts with my subscription. In Office 365, you need separate licenses if I remember correctly, but the additional licenses can be the cheap ones because you just need an email account and not the entire Office suite.

I am using Outlook 365. They have an even newer version that Microsoft is pushing out that seems to be causing me some problems. In my Outlook 365, it does hand pst files although I'm primarily using ost files now.

For me, the email accounts are collapsed first (clicking the little triangle thing). Then I can click on the email account name and drag them easier.

I have the same kind of issues. I end up keeping the templates in one account. After I open the template, I change "From" to the correct account. The downside is when you forget to change the From.

I am using the Outlook Desktop App. That's probably the big thing. Also...just a week or two ago, Microsoft released a brand new version of Outlook that looks way different. You have to go through the Gear on the top left if you have the new version. The icon for that App is the Outlook logo with the word New on it.

Thanks! It was kind of cool after four year. I'm making a dollar per day so now I can retire. ;)

I wish. I had to do it one by one. Sorry I'm not much help!

Sorry, Akeem. I'm a Windows guy so not able to help you with macOS.

Thanks okay Jeff. I found a way to. On the title bar at the very top, to the left, you click on 'outlook' and then 'preference' ---> 'Account' --> 'Add account' and that's it. Pretty straightforward from there.@@JeffPospisil

That shouldn't be a problem. In my desktop version of Outlook, I go to File >> Account Settings >> Account Settings. Here you select New on the Email tab. You can do this on multiple devices. I also have Outlook setup on a table (Kindle Fire). There are less options, and I find it more challenging to get to where you need to be. If I click on the mailbox icon in the upper left, I can see the whole menu. In the bottom left is a gear where there is an option to Add Mail Account. I hope this helps!

I was just experimenting with this too. I really like the unified account view for the mobile version of Outlook. I don't have an answer yet.
