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 can't find any functionality better in the new outlook that does not exist in the old. it seems to be all about aesthetics and clean design at the expense of functionality. I have gone back to the old outlook because of this and life is right again. I suggest you all do the same, that becomes our vote on the dumb changes like this.
I agree with all of these other uses. Having the total tally of emails (read and unread) clearly visible is a very helpful tool for mailbox management!!

Agree! Bring back the item count in the footer bar. Loving the new Outlook format but it's missing this feature.
Also- bring back the option to add folders from additional mailboxes to favorites!
Everything is already said really, I did rely on that count to know better how much pending stuff I have.
Maybe by removing this feature, Microsoft is trying to teach us a lesson: only the unread emails in your inbox should be considered (and therefore counted), because if you read an email you should action it immediately! If I was able to do that, I wouldn't need to rely on that count to know how much work I have pending, but I'm far from that I'm afraid.
