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.

Could someone from Microsoft at least give a reason why the thought moving this would be a "value add"?
I don't get it and now I have to strain to understand my nested folders...

Please change it back or provide an option - this is not acceptable. I have tons of folders and rules and with the numbers off to the right I can tell what to check.

Please revert this change which is causing serious issues... Or at least provide an update to use either one...

I have a feeling this is as accurate as it goes
Outlook program manager: i want to change the position of the unread e-mail count.
Outlook engineer: why no one has asked for this to be changed and is a waste of our time.
Outlook program manager: Just do it.Change the position back as to read the unread messages is now
1. annoying as i multiple length named folder and this now make it hard to see which ones have e-mail
2. add an option so the end user can change this is if they so wish -

This makes it hard to read. It appeared like this some time ago but then quickly disappeared. It needs to disappear again, quickly please

Really MS, no option? I concur, I can quickly scan my folders for new mail as I keep some unread and now its not easy unless I move the right justified column closer which cuts off my folder names.... Stop trying to be Apple....I don't use Apple products because "they" force you how you should use the software....

please revert this feature so that the number of unread emails is displayed next to folder name as it was in previous versions. Current style is so confusing

I just got the update. THIS IS TERRIBLE!
Best advice seems to be to rename all your folders to be the same width and shrink the pane to match. So stupid.

Please please fix this, this is inconveniencing me, it is so hard to tell which inbox has the unread emails.

This is the worst ******** chance I've ever seen. Why does Microsoft keep breaking things that aren't broken?!?!?!?

One wouldn't think this change would be that big of a deal but, it was the first thing that screamed out to me after the update. I would like to see it back the old way or at least have an option.

Please make it an option to few it next to the folder name. I have multiple folder names that are longer than others so it is difficult to tell how many unread emails are in what folder.

The right-justified position of the unread email count does not stand out like it did before. As a result, many unread emails are overlooked for a greater period of time. Please consider moving it back...change for change sake is not progress!

There are times when you have to gird your loins and admit that a change was not beneficial. This is one of those times.

It is painful in identifying the count to which it is belongs to. User should be able to align based on his/her wish. Please revert it if it is not possible.

AGILE has struck again - Actually Gravely Illogical Lousy E-ideas.
No-one asked for this, no-one wanted this, no-one finds this change to be of benefit. Revert it back to the old look.
