Using older versions of Outlook for Mac for personal email and calendar
Is it possible to vote for this feature request somewhere ?
Personally I've also sticked to the classical version since months, just because this indicator is not available. It's really crucial to know how many messages you have left in your inbox (not just how many are not read). Perhaps other people are doing differently. but that's the way I prefer and I don't see why the UI should tell me to do differently...
