Quickly toggle total or unread item counts in all Outlook folders

Author: Kelly Last Modified: 2024-06-25

By default, Outlook displays the number of unread items in folders on the Navigation Pane. Generally, you can change a folder’s properties to show the total number of items, but doing this for multiple folders can be tedious and time-consuming. Kutools for Outlook simplifies this with the All Folders Show Total Number of Items feature, allowing you to show the total number of items in all folders with one click. Alternatively, selecting the All Folders Show Number of Unread Items option will display the number of unread items in all folders, returning to Outlook's default setting.

I am using Kutools to quickly total the number of items in each folder. Whenever I try to run this tool it get stuck on "Setting number of items ..." and will not continue. Any way to fix this? Thank you
