I switched to the new outlook and it is no longer showing the total number of emails in each folder.

thank you Carmen SSS! This is the most helpful comment of all pages of comments. Not ideal but I can at least find the number now!
This MONEY! Thanks for sharing
Yes. Ridiculous. I work my Inbox and need to know how many items are there. Silly not to have this little thing turned on.
This has been a frustrating issue. Personally, I was using the folder item count for my smart folder which tracks flagged emails. I've since found somewhat of a workaround by using the "Snooze" functionality on emails, which allows an email to be hidden from the inbox until a certain date/time. You can then add the "Snoozed" folder to your Favorites. This folder shows the item count. It's not ideal and it won't help everyone, but it's something for now. Isn't it a bit frustrating that the exact functionality we're looking for (item count) works perfectly well by default on the "Snoozed" folder?!
Can't really commit to the New Outlook you keep pestering me to USE, if I can't see the number of unread emails in each mailbox without having them toggled open.
