If you are one for organization and prefer having your inboxes in order, then you might be facing the same quandary that many people using the Windows 10 Mail & Calendar app face: the lack of options when it comes to arranging your inbox in the order you want.

While this is something that is generally overlooked, it is still a neat feature for those people who still wish to organize their inbox and have a certain set preference on arranging their inboxes. We’ll show you how to do it.

STEP 1: 

To begin open up the calendar app and navigate to the Settings. The cog icon on the bottom right of the menu, as highlighted below.

A new box will slide out from the right and you will click on “Manage Accounts“.

When in here, you will now click on the option of “Link Inboxes“.

A new box will open up as shown below, you just have to click on Save and make sure you have your current inboxes selected.

STEP 3: 

Once you have successfully linked the inboxes, you will see the following change below, meaning you did all steps till now correctly.

Once again, you will perform Steps 1 & 2 until you reach the same dialog box again that comes after “Manage Accounts“. Now you will click on “Linked Accounts” as highlighted.

STEP 4:

You will see the familiar dialog box, except this time you will now untick the inbox you want to make appear at the bottom. The inbox you leave ticked will be the top inbox.

Once you have chosen your inbox of choice, feel free to click on the “Save” button and you will see the effect instantly.

If you compare the above screenshot with the one in STEP 1, you will see that my Outlook and Gmail inboxes have switched places. Showing that it is indeed possible to switch the placement of the inbox’s without having to login to the app again!

While I carried out this guide with only 2 inboxes, the guide should be the same for a multiple inboxes though it will become tricky should you want to rearrange more than 3 inboxes.

Keep in mind that the above settings will not change the settings of your inbox in any way, so do not worry about you having to reconfigure your inbox all over again.

It is also worth mentioning that you can re-arrange the order as many times as you wish, as long as you follow the above steps carefully, just be careful that you don’t edit your account settings while handling the “Manage Accounts” portion of this guide.
