New outlook not showing total email count in each folder on windows application

Regarding 2)- the total now shows when right-clicking on a folder

Just hover the mouse over the folder and you will see total items in that folder

This needs to be fixed. One workaround I have found is you can right click on the Inbox folder and it will show you the number of total messages.

Dear Microsoft, please bring back the status bar.

Oh dear, they seem to have fallen into the age old trap of change for changes sake. Unless you can significantly improve on what's on offer then what's the point? To not have an item count is a bit of a joke, but can be ignored. However, what is unacceptable is that despite informing Microsoft of this glaring inadequacy, they insist on repeatedly embarking on a campaign to coerce customers to use it. This is by rather frustratingly enforcing the new outlook upon them when stating "new outlook will open on next start up' not once, not twice, but relentlessly. Microsoft, accept that you have failed some of your customers and allow them the courtesy of choosing the program that works best for them. We are pretty much all aware that the new Outlook is available, some have decided it doesn't work adequately, accept it and let's move on. Especially without the necessity of the tiresome and frustrating process of continually reverting to the old outlook and explaining to our friends in silicon valley why.
