Outlook App for Android - I want to view all Inbox emails and 1 specific folder

In the Outlook desktop app, I see all of my emails—both from my Inbox and from folders I’ve created. On my phone, I can see all emails in my Inbox, but I’d also like to view emails from a specific folder at the same time.

My goal is to see all emails from my Inbox plus one specific folder (for example, Inbox and Personal) together in the Outlook mobile app, similar to the filter I have set up on my desktop. I don’t want to toggle back and forth between the Inbox and the Personal folder in the app.

Is this possible? Thanks!

You may want to scrub through the Microsoft Outlook android internet sites to see if you can find an answer.

Yeah, that would be a Microsoft issue.

You might try "unsubscribing" from all the folders except the one you want to see.  You will still be able to retrieve emails from the other folders on demand, but the "subscribed" folder will load automatically upon opening the app and on receipt of subsequent emails.

Thanks @AAbbott How does one "unsubscribe" from all the folders except that one?

I don't remember exactly how to do it in outlook, especially any new versions, but in Thunderbird, I just right click on the account, and hit the "subscribe" option in the menu that comes up and check/uncheck the box next to any folder I want/don't want.  It likely works the same way.

I don't think it's possible to do that in Outlook. Been using Outlook for years and have never seen that option before.
