how can I view inbox from 2 email accounts at same time on my MAC?

On my MacBook Pro, I am only able to view the inbox for my two email accounts separately - as of today.


How can I adjust it so the two inboxes will be combined, as they are on my iPhone.

Hey valleystream,


You can choose which emails are shown on your Mac by following these steps:


"Change which emails are shown

In the Mail app  on your Mac, do any of the following:

  • Filter messages: Click the Filter button  at the top of the message list to enable message filters, choose View > Filter, then select or deselect filters. You can also click and hold the Filter button, then choose options from the menu that appears.
  • Show messages from one mailbox: In the Favorites bar or the Mail sidebar, click the mailbox.
  • Show messages from several mailboxes: In the Mail sidebar, select multiple mailboxes. 
  • Show messages from a specific email account: Click the arrow  next to a mailbox (for example, Inbox) in the sidebar, then select an account (for example, your iCloud account)." Read emails in Mail on Mac


We hope this helps!


Sincerely.

To view the inbox from two email accounts simultaneously on your Mac, you can follow these steps:


1. Open the Apple Mail application on your MacBook Pro.

2. In the Mail app's menu, click on "Mail" in the top left corner.

3. Select "Preferences" from the drop-down menu.

4. In the Preferences window, go to the "Viewing" tab.

5. Look for the "Show messages from" section.

6. Choose the option "All Inboxes" from the drop-down menu.


Once you select "All Inboxes," you'll be able to see the combined view of both your email accounts' inboxes in one place, similar to how it appears on your iPhone.


If you need more detailed instructions or have any other questions, feel free to ask. Additionally, for official documentation, you can visit the Mail section on the Apple website: [apple.com/mail](https://www.apple.com/mail).
