How do I increase the limit of 10 email accounts on this New Outlook?

I am using Windows 11 Home Version 23H2 on a PC.

I started using the “New Outlook”. 

In the email from Outlook Team, it states:

Manage all your email accounts and calendars in a single place. Now you can access all your emails in one spot. That's Outlook.com, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo!, iCloud, IMAP accounts and even that account you use for shopping.

You only allow 10 email addresses to be entered.  Why so small amount?  

You recommend that I add all my accounts.  I have at least 25 different email addresses. 

I am currently using Thunderbird to compile all my email addresses.  I was hoping to use this New Outlook, but it looks as if I need to close up this New Outlook and go back to Thunderbird.

How do I increase the limit of 10 email accounts on this New Outlook?

    Microsoft really needs to get it together. The FREE competition is kicking their a**. Check this out.

    Thunderbird can handle more than 40 email accounts per profile. You can add multiple accounts to Thunderbird so you can send and receive email from multiple accounts in one program.

    Just following up on this; so is Registry the only way? There is nothing I can do via policies in Exchange Admin Server, or Admin, or Entra etc? I have no wish to tough the Registray, but also find having to use an additional email client for my work accounts to be very, very - and completely unnecessarily - annoying.

    Hello

    Did you find a way to increase the 10 acc. limit? i tried alot and i didnt find solution

    Regards

    Gabriel

    Not at all, Gabriel.

    It seems that Microsoft keeps the limite of 10 accounts for the New Outlook.

    As for now, the solution is to keep the classic version of outlook or change to Thunderbird.

    I still hope that they end to accept our requests if there are many.

    Let's see.

    Hello Rfcf2_752,

    My name is Adesoji and I'd be happy to help you out with your question.

    Please note: This is a user-to-user community forum. I am just a user like you who help others. I am not an employee of Microsoft.

    Ben4724 in thread https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/859eea53-6b4a-4122-bdc0-8e8487a13a2f explained that

    "With regards to the limit of accounts that can be added to Outlook Preview, to be honest, the limit is 10 accounts only. Though I've seen a post in one of the community forums of a way other users use to bypass this via registry but take note! If you wish to touch the registry, I suggest making a backup of your registry first as your Windows device might have a problem if you touch the wrong registry.

    Here is the link for the community forum I am referring to https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/7833034e-b3be-45bb-b5ea-5ca2bd649ccc

    For the guide on how to do this, you may refer to this link on how to modify this specific registry. https://www.msoutlook.info/question/490#:~:text=By%20default%2C%20Outlook%20allows%20up%20to%2010%20Exchange,to%20up%20to%209999%20via%20a%20Registry%20tweak
