Instead of showing the number of messages, it is now showing the name of the folder. Every suggestion I found on the web said to locate the status bar and right click. Not working here! Any keyboard methods?

Cher,

I’m using Outlook 2019, not the subscription version. If the two versions are similar in this respect, you can obtain the information you seek by pressing F6 and using the up and down arrow keys.

I vaguely recall reading that when you’re in this area, pressing enter on, say, the page numbers, that detail will start showing up on the status line.

I hope I’m not completely making this up. With luck my bungling will trigger a response from someone who knows.

I could not make any of that work. The number of files always showed up until a couple of weeks ago. ☹

If you cannot or will not imagine the results of your actions, there’s no way you can act morally or responsibly.  Little kids can’t do it; babies are morally monsters — completely greedy. Their imagination has to be trained into foresight and empathy.

Thanks. I did a repair but was only given the option for a quick one, which did not help. I think you have the right idea, but will check with MS for a fuller  repair. The control-E search quit working about the same time as the file numbers were replaced by the folder name in the status bar.

Hi,

  I launched the full repair for Office after the quick repair failed to fix my issue.  The full repair uninstalled the office suite and in the midst  of the re install and repair an error occurred and thus Office was completely gone.  Wonderful person at Microsoft Disability Desk got me back on track.

Yes, full repair can work but beweare of possible trouble.
