Multiple Email Account, One Unread Folder

[TD]

How can I combine multiple inboxes or accounts into one unread folder in
Outlook 2007?

Search Folders are local for the message store (pst-file or Exchange
mailbox) only. So unless all those Inboxes are in the same message store,
you can't. You can however create an "Unread Mail" Search Folder for each
message store.

I find it funny that Entourage in Mac OS X has this basic feature, but
Outlook in Windows doesn't.

Certainly does here on Outlook 2007....

I'm running 2007 as was the original poster and neither of us found a way,
the first reply states it's not possible. If you know a way, I'd love to
know how you did it. When I create a new search folder for unread, it only
lets me select folders from whichever account I have highlighted at the time
I ask to make a new search folder, when I try with no folders selected, it
defaults to personal folders.

So your accounts are NOT POP then? What type of accounts are they? (You
didn't specify....)

In that case no you can't.
You can add an unread mail search folder for each account to the Favorites
pane.

And yet I can in Entourage, hence my comment about how I find it funny that
