How to set up 36 email accounts across 19 domains on Exchange/Outlook?

GoDaddy recently 'upgraded' from Workplace Email to Microsoft Exchange 365.

I have 36 emails across 19 domains names for all the different/unique clients and projects my team and I handle. I used to have all of my POP email accounts neatly pool in to one PST profile in a unified, all-seen-and-ready-to-be-replied-to-instantly manner, in a single inbox/sentitems view. (plus a few IMAP accounts listed on the left column in Outlook client app on my desktop)

Now, I am being told that I can only have 10 exchange accounts set up, and that with Microsoft Exchange 365 there is "no way" to do the above, ie I would have to check each email account's dropdown individually to see if I have new emails (imagine doing this 36 times each time you check your email). Oh, and that there is no way to fit 36 email accounts on my exchange/outlook anyway because of the 10 limitation. (Thanks for the 'upgrade')

Any advice/workarounds? One guy at GoDaddy even jokingly suggested buying four laptops! I realize that not everyone deals with this many accounts/emails etc, but it just seems like this 'upgrade' is doing at least people like me more harm than good. Appreciate any all insights/workarounds - I just want the ease and practicality of what I already was enjoying for the last 10-20 years!

Thanks,
Tolga

Hi @TolgaUral-1409

What about taking a reference at the method introduced here, try creating the Registry value:

Multiple Exchange accounts limit

And here is a related thread discussed the similar issue: Max. Number of accounts in Outlook 365

Hi @joyceshen-MSFT appreciate your reply thank you very much.

Q: The solution you are proposing seems to help circumvent the # account limitations per PC (ie now I won't need to buy 4 laptops to view 36 email accounts!), but, does it provide a way to get all 36 email accounts to neatly pool in to one PST profile in a unified, all-seen-and-ready-to-be-replied-to-instantly manner, in a single inbox/sentitems view, similar to how I used to be able to do with all my POP accounts? Ie will I still need to click-open each of the 36 email accounts individually from the left column in Outlook to check latest incoming emails?

Hi,

The mailboxes will show like below, and I'm afraid you will still need to click-open each of the 36 email accounts individually from the left column in Outlook

Thanks but how is this exactly labeled as an 'upgrade', then? It seems it's just going to cost me 36 times more time to do a simple "let's see my new emails" check, and time is money, so I'm set to lose money on an ongoing basis, for something that never cost me either time or money before.

Q: I know Microsoft developers to be very smart and innovative when confronted with worthy challenges (ie saving customers time and money) - any chance you might circulate this thread to the right teams to see if they might invent a solution? You would be doing me & others a big favor, I'm sure I'm not the only person with multiple email accounts who used to enjoy the mentioned practicality. Thanks.
