Outlook Mail live tiles for separate accounts work!

Hey All:

I just put 10166 on my L830, and I can confirm that you can now pin live tiles to your start screen for each account AND they will show the number of unread messages in for that account. It only works in with large and wide tiles, and they still haven't brought back the different icons for Outlook/Gmail/Exchange accounts, but we're most of the way back to the 8.1 live tile functionality with the new Outlook app. (Hooray?!?). Just remember that you have to unpin the outlook mail app and then pin the individual accounts from within then app itself via a long press for each account in "options."

Yeah, nice to see this is working again.

Will also be nice to see separate notifications for each account as well, but I guess that's on the way.

Also now working is the ability to show these separate accounts as notification counts on your lock screen. This wasn't possible in the previous build.

This gets a double thumbs-up from me!
