Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Same for me. Can't believe they would take this away. I hope enough people complain that they fix this and bring that back.

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

It is part of Microsoft's culture. Back over 20 years ago David Pogue in the New York Times mentioned that people would report bugs in Microsoft Word that never got fixed. Worse, I remember calling into customer service to report a bug. They wanted to charge me a hefty fee (about $50) to do so because this was not a regular part of their service so it required an extra service charge.
Even around 2010 we have the same problem: David Pogue again: https://archive.nytimes.com/pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/21/office-for-mac-isnt-an-improvement/
There are bugs aplenty, too. If you use the Send as Attachment command from Word, for example, you wind up with an outgoing message in Outlook — but without your signature in place...
Outlook’s AutoComplete is broken, too...
In Word, as before, there’s a dialog box where you can change the keystrokes for features you use a lot. In Word 2011, however, the new assignments sometimes don’t “take.” The feature is simply broken.
Microsoft says that it’s aware of all the bugs I’ve listed here, and intends to fix them early next year. (Most of the missing mail commands, however, will remain missing.)
O.K., what? You *knew* about these bugs, but you’re selling this software anyway?
Sure, other companies do that. But that doesn’t make it any less sleazy when Microsoft does it.
Why isn't Microsoft responding? Or fixing it?
Workers of the world to Outlook - ETA to repair, please. Do you copy?
Same. Outlook, are you listening?
