Thanks to Diane for showing me how to create a unified inbox using VBA. I now have a custom icon on my ribbon that produces a "unified inbox" view - that is, a listing of all items in all the inboxes of my many email accounts I have in Outlook 365.

My next question is this: Is there a way to have Outlook 365 open to this unified inbox? I know under File>Options>Advanced I can select "Start Outlook in this folder" but that only allows me to start Outlook in a particular folder within a particular account.

Again, can I get Outlook to open to my unified inbox view?
 
No, you can't open Outlook to the unified inbox, because it is not really a folder, but a search results.

I don't have code to do it but you should be able to use a vbs file to open Outlook and run the macro - but you'd need to run the file to open outlook, not use the Outlook icon.
