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?

Even that hover over counter doesn't work properly. It's slow and seems to cap out around 1000 items which isn't helpful if you have folders with well in excess of 1000 items.
this is absolutely critical. when you have multiple email accounts with multiple inboxes, if you don't show the number of emails, i have to click on every single inbox multiple times per day to see if there is an email in that inbox. Please add the ability to show the number of emails in a folder with an option to show just the new emails in folder.
Thank you for posting this! I'd missed the "what's new" notification; this helps.
I found a hack until they fix this.
I select all in my inbox and then click read/unread to see unread total in inbox then select read to go back to normal.
Yeah, but I sometimes mark emails as unread as an indicator that action is still needed. If I mark all unread, I can't "undo" and return to the previous separation. I've lost the delineation. Not a hack that works for me.
Also: Launch Outlook, then click on the "Help" menu and select "Revert to Legacy Outlook".
I am going to have to do this again soon. Another absolutely maddening thing the Microsoft "I know best" Nanny is doing: My Outlook has a message at the top "The new Outlook for Mac is here! The new version will launch the next time Outlook restarts". Like I am supposed to wet myself with excitement. I can find NO way to disable this forced "upgrade".
