Unread Email Count - Move it back!
I hate that the new unread email count for any box is aligned to the right. I cannot find anything online on how to fix this. PLEASE change this back or at least give the user the ability to determine if they want the count number next to the folder name or aligned differently.

Terrible. I have the email section very wide, otherwise i see only one month in calendar view, but i want to see 2 and the split pane works for every view. You can not change it separately for more views.
With this wide section, the mail count is far away from the folders name. Thats ****. Especially when you have other applications in the front you don't see the counts in the back anymore because they are in the middle of the screen now! This is an absolutely stupid design fail! -

This is terrible, it makes it so much harder to read at a glance. Do you not do any UAT??
Please at least give the user the abilit to choose!! -

go to view panel, unpres focused mail, then all mails are showing and unread are back

Change for change sake is unnecessary and a waste of development resources. Are MS products so good that you can make cosmetic changes before bug fixes?

The whole interface of Windows and Office is beeing worse and worse for the eye. Things disappear like windows title, scrollbars, etc. It is becoming every day more painful to use, it seems that everything imust be white on white now and occupy full screen for nothing.

I do not recommend this idea. Because now the unread count are very visible even if we have lengthy folder names. Earlier i have to adjust the column width every time according to folder name length, now this feature solved this.

I hate it too. Please move it back or allow user to choose the alignment.
Thank you very very much. -

While you are at it, show unread message numbers for collapsed sub-folders in the main folder. When open, show the normal view.

Yep...it's driving me absolutely nuts. I was trying to figure out a away to move it back, and after much searching, gave up and searched online, but I can see that there is no way to do this in the new/current layout. PLEASE MOVE THE EMAIL ALIGNMENT COUNT BACK BACK.

And can we have the folders with unread emails highlighted bold again while you are at it? It's about user preference, so at least give the users the option to decide

Why doesn't let user have an option to align right or left! tired to hear official answers.

Please make the total count AND unread count optional. I would like the counts to disappear, when desired, or only appear for the Inbox. Those bright blue numbers are really distracting now that they are right justified. Please give us options rather than just deciding for us.

Move it Back! Why in the world would this have been a forced change. When you have long folder names you lose easy visual association of the email count for the folders...it is unusable when right justified!!!

Please change it back, as I have a lot of folder and they are not bold anymore when containing unread items

please give an option to change this back. I have my windows organized where i can just see the unread number, now that it's right justified, it's screwing my window layout.

If you reduce the column width it will help a bit.
