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

It seems to me:

• We can all understand the reasoning behind removing the properties feature.
• We can understand that product owner felt like "they don't need to see total messages. Unread will suffice"
• Microsoft support folks DO read this forum and reply to requests

What doesn't make sense:

• Why someone is not empowered to post an official response from Microsoft: "we got rid of your ability to see total items in a folder. sorry if this causes you disappointment. Here's a workaround: Hover over the folder and you'll see total items"

A really helpful feature that is no longer available, I have switched back to the old Outlook and hope that the feedback is used by Microsoft to reinstate the feature soon

I agree with the previous comments. Has this issue been resolved?

I actually just noticed by hovering over your folder, there is a popup of total messages as well as an unread count. so this is the simplest wat rather than selecting all etc. i will try it for a few days to see if i can get used to it!

This is a quick workaround: SELECT ALL (CTRL+A) in your inbox and "Mark as Unread". It will display the full count as it checks "Are you sure you want to mark (#) emails as unread?", and it will also show the count to the left side by the folders.
