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

Dear Microsoft, please bring back the status bar.

found a workaround, if you right click on the word "inbox" it will tell you how many total emails you have in that folder.

This has been a frustrating issue. Personally, I was using the folder item count for my smart folder which tracks flagged emails. I've since found somewhat of a workaround by using the "Snooze" functionality on emails, which allows an email to be hidden from the inbox until a certain date/time. You can then add the "Snoozed" folder to your Favorites. This folder shows the item count. It's not ideal and it won't help everyone, but it's something for now. Isn't it a bit frustrating that the exact functionality we're looking for (item count) works perfectly well by default on the "Snoozed" folder?!

Dear Microsoft, please bring back the status bar.

We have just began to upgrade to the new outlook and many users are frustrated about this simple feature missing.

Best regards sysadm

Adding a +1 to this thread.

Having the count of mail in folder items shown next to the folder name is invaluable for seeing my workflow at a glance. It's a major deal breaker with adopting the New Outlook.
