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

Is there any chance to have this issue resolved?

I believe that now, with more than 90 replies, it is well described.

While it no longer displays in a satus bar at the bottom of the app, you can find out how many emails are in a folder by hovering or right-clicking on the folder. https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/display-the-total-number-of-messages-in-a-folder-1f47664e-2468-4f0e-8515-4e0596f9553a

This exactly!!!, I'm now being forced to this new abomination mail app every time I open it but with multiple email accounts (and no one single inbox) its EXREMEMELY frustrating to have to click on each mailbox to see if any unread emails.........its not good enough or ready if this is the "normal" now

Surely I'm missing a setting to have a simple view/number/badge next to each account name without having to go into each one to see if any new emails.....that is ridiculous

From many of the replies my original issue seems to be mis-understood. Yes you can go into any mail folder with the new version of Outlook mail and view unread messages. It is at the top level where you may have several email accounts. 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.

You know when a company is too big for its britches when customer service becomes dysfunctional. Microsoft has been that way for a generation. David Pogue in the New York Times would write in the late 1990s that he and others would post bugs in Microsoft Word, and every release would add new features but never fix the old bugs. I remember finding a bug in the Operating System. I called in to let them know, but for me to report it, I had to buy an enhanced service contract. Google has always been just as bad. Back fifteen years ago there was this bug: My name is "Antony Van der Mude" with no middle name. The autocomplete would, in its infinite wisdom, make my last name "Mude" and my middle name "Van der". I would manually fix it, only to have the system change it back in a week or so. I tried repeatedly to get a human to acknowledge my emails reporting this bug (you can't call customer service at Google) only to get in contact with a developer who accused me of being a troll. Fitbit is just as bad. One thing all of these companies do is to steer you to an email platform like this one, where you can take part in a **** session just like I am doing right this minute, where your complaints can be safely ignored. The only thing I get out of this is to vent my spleen. Heaven forfend that they actually fix things. This is a classic example of what Cory Doctorow calls enshittification.

I guess our dreams are a bit different? I really want unread in the INBOX, like is currently displayed in the old mail client, so I can see if anything new has come in for any email address. Seeing total number of emails in the folder over 10 years really doesn't mean much to me. Though I guess if you constantly delete email or move email to other folders after addressed, that could be meaningful.
