Unified Mailbox just shows all emails in one folder. The way Thunderbird works is that I can see all the emails from any account and reply or forward and it comes from the account that received the original email.
I have looked at Outlook before and using rules to group and sort into folders, but I'm not keen on it. Outlook was never my favorite.

By default in Outlook, all emails come into the same InBox. Rules just make them manageable; rather than having hundreds of email intermixed, it is more convenient (IMHO) to allow the system to sort and organise them for you. When you reply / forward an email, the default sender is the recipient of email, but you can select a different sender. So, I am somewhat puzzled about what the problem with Outlook is. I've been using Outlook 97 virtually since it came out and am glad to say the (apart from the ribbon) Outlook 2016 / 2019 seems to work in the same way. I admit that I am not au fait with multi-accounts in Outlook 365. The big fly in the ointment was Outlook Express which was a bit clunky so if your bad experiences were with Outlook Express, then you will be pleased to know that Outlook is not as bad.

I primarily manage my email via Unread. If I want something to hang around I'll flag it as unread after reading it.
In Thunderbird, I can default it to Unified Inbox and Unread. So I see all emails from every account I have that are unread. Just by opening Thunderbird and I can search every email account with only one search.
In Outlook, I have to select each account before I can see any unread emails. I have 8 currently, that is 8+ different actions that need to be done to accomplish the same thing I can do in Thunderbird with 0 clicks.
I'm allergic to clicks.  Really Just a pet peeve. KISS is the appropriate metaphor when designing a user interface.
So will outlook work, certainly, as will any email client that allows more than one account. I'm just being persnickety. (There's a word for the CCC)

I used to use Eudora, great client, good spam filtering & quick. Then Qualcomm made it freeware & then I couldn't get it to install on Win10 so went to Thunderbird.

I just developed a ridiculously well performing graphics driver for the ESP32 that just blows the doors off of Adafruit's but uses ESP32 specific hardware SPI acceleration features.
And I did it in a couple of days, going from knowing nothing about the display device and little about the raw API for doing SPI over the ESP32 to doing fully asynchronous I/O over the thing.
And for the most part, my code ran when compiled, even after all the bit twiddling and low level calls and pointer ops. I only segfaulted a couple of times and both were for reasons that effectively amounted to a typo.
I'm on fire. Gosh I love being back in the swing of things.

Wholeheartedly agree. Just graduated this week (yea, I'm late to the party). Felt good to have the time to finish up an article after so long even if it's a pretty niche one

Dunno, I never steal coffee; too dangerous, they call anything a coffee nowadays. Could be a machiatto with saybeans and extra cream. Could be a vanilla latte with brown sugar. A frappucini with unicorn sprinkles.
If I want coffee I play safe and get a plain coffee.

Denis Leary on Coffee[^]
As with all things Dennis Leary related, it should be assumed it's NSFW due to swearing ...

Very recognizable internal dialogue, even with the "pull your pants up".
"NSFW" has a very low threshold there? The only ones who don't encounter such things are politicians, because they have to be PC (and don't work).

DL tends not to be SFW, but it's been a while since I listened to that particular monolog - so I erred on the side of caution!

You may have saved a future politician reading this thread, because they need be spotless.
I ain't, and those are learning moments. But boy, did I meet a lot of "NSFW" @work

Here I am again. I don't know if you remember me, but it's me who is always complaying about my CS degree. In the beginning my courses were challanging and I even wrote about it here, but I was working hard and systematically and I came to a point where my classes started to feel like there were going in slow motion, they became more worthless and worthless. I stopped to go to lectures because they are just waste of my time. We are taught obvious things that anyone can learn in five minutes for a almost a half year. In one week I can finish 800-pages programming book or complete two 8-hour tutorials or more while the teachers still show us how to draw an UML-diagram.
I thought I could force myself to keep going, but after I started my first group assignment I said to myself: "Enough is enough". I ended up in a group of people who are totaly not intrested in porgramming and have zero knowledge about it. And I'm not talking about writing bad code. No, they can't code at all. If you show them maybe they do, but they do it as if a nazi forced them to do it and they just write some code that doesn't even work, only to get rid of me. They have better grades than me but It's me who has to teach them and explain to them the basics of programming that we had exams of. I don't even know how they came so far. I guess they copied and pasted the code or asked someone to do it for them - because they are con artists for sure.
So my question is: What does my degree exactly proving? I learned everything by myself. This school didn't teach me anything - the same goes for my classamtes who can program, they already could do it before they got into this circus for college and the rest of my classmates are just lazy con artists who will take their degree thank's to group assignments which are usually done by one hard working, programming intrested and passionate slave. Because if you ask me I would never ever employ half of my classmates. I don't even know if they can define a variable. They act like if they were kidnapped by aliens, went through medical experiments and than after a month were released still uncoscious and forcly put behind a computer monitor at some university and here they are and they have no clue why they are there and what happens.
If you ask me I don't really care as long as they dont waste my time and sabotaging me. But they do. I have to sit together with them and waste hours after hours listnening to them talking none programming related stuff and pretend I can't program because I have to be "good teamplayer" and wait one month for them to write and "int" and another month to write variable name and another month to define it . I'm bored to death I could use those hours to learn another programming language, do my own projects... work as a freelancer and make money. I feel that I don't need my degree at all. It's just wasting my money and time and stopping me from actually learning my profession and progress. Because I can't evolve in this environment. Now I'm filling up my portfolio and I will soon look for a job, and if I get it, I don't know if I want to torture myself and come back to my college. What do you think? If I get a job, do I have to worry about not having a degree or do I have to keep wasting my money and time just for this useless paper?
PS: I know that I will not always prorgam that much at my work and I still have to put up with lazy co-workers and waste time at the meetings but at least I get money for that and I can pay off my loan.

The main reason for getting a degree is that some employers won't hire you without one. But this seems to be getting less and less so. And as you're finding, many degrees are now way overpriced, not to mention that many universities drag in nonsense that has nothing to do with your subject. Even some companies do that now. But if you can find a job that you think would be make you happy, I'd say go for it.

As an acquaintance of mine has put it: "A college degree is a modern white collar union card. It's neither a necessary nor sufficient condition to prove you can do the job; but just like in great-grandpa's day without ex a plumbers union card there were a lot of job sites you won't even get a chance to talk to the hiring manager without one."
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In the past year or so, I ran into an uptick of jobs require the degree. I don't have one so was passed over. The degree is pretty much useless on what you will be doing.
