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?

    Bonjour Everyone,

    I'm monitoring this thread for years. I've received an email from Internal IT dept telling us that Legacy Outlook for Mac wil be retiring in October 2025.

    It is time Microsoft comes with a solution for such a basic and tiny request.

    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
