I don’t believe so. I had tried to figure that out as well and could not find a solution.

Is there a way to direct the outlook today view to an account that is not the primary or “main” one?

I have a question for you. My outlook today screen seems to be a cream color with white. Not a true white as yours is pictured. I don’t know why it is colored differently but it makes it hard to read. I upgraded to 2016 from outlook 2010 and I assumed the new version would be blue and white not blue with cream and a light blue text which is impossible to read. I can show you a screen shot if you have the time. No one seems to know what the problem is..Thanks for any insight!!
