Windows 10: Accessing my email inbox directly via favourites tab in Edge.

In Chrome I have a shortcut to my email inbox on a tab in my favourites bar and it takes me directly to my logged in inbox every time.
I've got exactly the same set up in Edge, having made a shortcut whilst logged in to my inbox. However, most of the time when I use this favourite tab, the Microsoft Outlook info page comes up; If I then click on the sign in box in the top right corner, it takes me to my logged in inbox. This happens every time I boot up my laptop, sometimes if I access my email in Edge for a second time in the same session it'll go directly to my logged in inbox.
How do I get Edge to act the same as Chrome and give me direct access to my inbox from my favourites tab.
If I hold the cursor over this tab, it comes up as https://outlook(dot)live(dot)com/mail/0/inbox

Why isn’t there any favourites? In Microsoft Edge…?


Colleagues and friends have been asking me where are my favourites form Internet Explorer 11 in Microsoft Edge. What a lot of people don't realise (i.e. the novice n00b is just being rude) Microsoft Edge is a completely new browser, it's not Internet Explorer 12 as some people are getting confused with. It is a completely new browser. More stable much better than Internet Explorer 11. So to answer any questions to any novice Windows 10 users, Microsoft Edge Favourites I have listed below a few simple steps. (important! You have to have favourites present in IE11) If your favourites are in IE11 then just import them from your previous browser to Microsoft Edge. Respectively you can do the same for Google Chrome as well. Although at the moment Firefox does not appear in the list...

1. Open Microsoft Edge then click on
   
   
2. To the right you will see Import favourites
3. By default Internet Explorer is ticked to be imported
4. Import your favourites and then click on the Favourites Tab again and you will see your favourites from Internet Explorer

If your Favourites do not appear just close and reopen Microsoft Edge and then click on



Now all your Favourites from IE or Chrome have been imported into Microsoft Edge...

Moreover, and most importantly is where is the path for the "Favourites Hub" Microsoft have done their best to hide the location of the favourites for Microsoft Edge. But because I'm working with computers for 7.5 hrs a day I thought the logical place to be would be in hidden away within AppData. If you want to edit your Favourites then the best way is to go directly to the file path location.

WB + R to open Run Command and type in AppData or just copy and paste the link that I have provided below for you.

Organise Favourites in Edge - how?

Drag the link over top of the word 'Favorites', make sure your mouse is touching the word.

 

Firefox -- is there an easy way to access Favourites


Hi there

On the Tor Browser ( a variant of firefox it's really easy to access BOOKMARKS (favourites)





On Firefox it's another step to get the bookmarks or is there something in configuration that I can use -- the bookmarks icon doesn't appear in the standard Firefox release (Windows).

Cheers
