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

Ditto to what's been said already...and...this was a problem with the MAC New Outlook rollout back in October of 2020. It's been solved for MAC users, albeit not satisfactorily: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/inbox-email-count-in-new-outlook-for-mac/4b1d2cd7-1978-4a6c-9480-bf2706812300
This doesn't appear to have been corrected, right? I'd really love to be able to see my total email count.
This is not working fore me either, I right click but no "Preferences" option is available.
Unfortunately this is a deal breaker for me as I often quickly read emails to review later, then I move them to a completed folder when done.
I absolutely need to know the number of emails in my folders in total, not just the unread. And changing everything to unread is a bit of an issue.
Is there any ETA for the status bar comeback?
Just upgraded to the "New Outlook" but really can't use it with no total number of items in the folder im at. will have to revert.
I agree this is driving me nuts!
