In the latest update of Outlook for Mac I can no longer see a count of the number of emails in my inbox.  Is there a way to get it back?

    I find this a very important feature and would like to see an update with that included ASAP.

    Thank you.

    Agree.  Please restore the email count for the inbox.

    This has been resolved. Just hover over the box and you will get a message count.

    It took me a while to figure out what you meant. I finally hovered over the word "Inbox" on the left. When I hovered over the word "Inbox" under all accounts, it gave me the total. I then hovered over the Inbox in the individual accounts and also got the count. Very helpful.

    Thank you.

    I don't think this is quite true...

    It seems that the contents of the inbox are lazy-loaded and it's only showing the number of emails that have currently been loaded - not the total number in the inbox

    For example:

    I have an inbox "On My Computer" where the tooltip says "0 items"

    I click on the inbox, and some emails appear

    The tooltip now says "25 items"

    I scroll down the list of emails, forcing a load, and the number reported in the tooltip increases as more items are loaded
