For example you have received many emails from a specified sender in Outlook, and now you want to count the total number of emails by the sender, how to get it done? There are two workarounds to archive it:


Count the number of emails by sender with Outlook’s Instant Search feature

In Outlook, we can search all emails by the specified sender in an email folder, and then get the total number of emails from the specified sender at the bottom of Navigation pane.

1. Select the email folder where you will count emails by sender, and put the cursor into the "Instant Search" box to activate the "Search Tools". See screenshot:
