Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
I see. Yes, I do have one email account. I didn't realize the issue was with multiple accounts now.
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
I switched to the new outlook and it is no longer showing the total number of emails in each folder.

I have tested everything people are describing. I have logged into the Outlook Web App in an internet browser and have been able to find out number of emails in an inbox or folder by right-clicking or hovering. I have opened my New Outlook desktop app (windows 11), which has multiple accounts and many folders and I can get number of emails in all folders and accounts by right-clicking or hovering.
It is at the top level where you may have several email accounts. Your screenshot is within a single email folder structure. On the left is the old Outlook Mail app where it shows the number of unread messages in the INBOX for each mailbox, on the left the new Outlook Mail app where it does not show the count of unread mail messages in the INBOX. I believe many have a problem with this basic feature change, especially those who may monitor multiple email addresses.
Yep, ok, I finally get it. Thanks for clarifying.
Dear Kelly Gant,
Thanks for posting the question here. Please kindly provide the following info for better understanding.
1.Could you please help confirm if the status shows in outlook in the right down corner is all folders are up to date? If not, could you please click on the send/receive>update folder to see if it will update?
2.What’s outlook version you are using? (remember to remove the personal info, choose File from the top left corner, and then click either Account or Help on the left nav bar )
- Please also refer to the link to see if it will let the number show or not. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/display-the-total-number-of-messages-in-a-folder-1f47664e-2468-4f0e-8515-4e0596f9553a
Look forward to your reply.
Any chance to get an answer from Microsoft?
