You may have noticed the blue number that shows up next to each folder in Outlook. That number is a count of your unread messages in that folder. But you can configure Outlook to show you the total number of emails instead.

To change the number displayed, right-click on the folder, choose properties, and toggle between the two count options on the General tab. Do you have more than 1,000 Sent items? It might be time for a cleanup.
