Hi there,

If you mouse over the folder name, it will display the number of messages in the folder.

Thank you!

    show the number of messages in the spam folder, as well as the total number of unread messages in the created folders at the top

  • Walker Kirk commented  ·   ·  Report

    It used to be you would know when there were items in the Spam folder without clicking on it. Please bring back that feature.

  • Charles Master M commented  ·   ·  Report

    Have to open SPAM folder to view if any emails have been directed to it.

    Newest version doesn't show the number of emails that are in the Spam and Trash folder

  • Jacqueline Baker commented  ·   ·  Report

    The thread about blocking spam is closed, but why? I want to be able to block and delete spam by using the simple drop down menu that there used to be at the top of spam. Now I can only do this by following the FIVE following steps:
    1) Click the Settings icon Image of the Settings icon
    2) click More Settings.
    3) Click Security and Privacy.
    4) Block or unblock an address: Block - Click Add and enter the address you want to block. Unblock - Click the Delete icon by the address you want to unblock.
    5) Click Save.
    This is not good enough! Bring back the easy way to BLOCK spam.

    Agreed. I thought I'd stopped getting spam until I clicked it out of curiosity.

  • Trashed Boy commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agree. I hadn't realised that the number of new "spam" emails wasn't being displayed and so missed a couple of wanted emails.that had been incorrecly filtered into it. Now I have to check the folder daily which is irritating.

    Please show number of spam emails in spam folder (without having to hover).

    Missing numbers on volume in trash and spam!!!!!

  • Mick L commented  ·   ·  Report

    Now it just builds up and you can only delete about 40 at a time. So my spam box has 600 before I can get to it.

  • LIANE SHANAHAN commented  ·   ·  Report

    I hate it,. I can't automatically see how many spam and trash items I have. There used to be numbers next to the folders before opening them

  • Vic Cutler commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please return unread indicator to Trash folder. Without this, important emails are missed and bills not paid on time.

  • Alyce commented  ·   ·  Report

    I liked the Classic mail better!

  • Alyce commented  ·   ·  Report

    Go back to showing how MANY e-mails are in trash and spam. We don't know if there is anything in those folders at a glance anymore!

  • IVAN IVANOV commented  ·   ·  Report

    The older version had the ability to display the number of the unread emails in the Spam & Trash folders with an option to empty those folders. Please, re-enable these ones.

  • Mary Campbell commented  ·   ·  Report

    Every so often I used to check the spam folder when the number of messages seemed exorbitant. Now, with no reference to the numbers in this folder, it requires extra time for me to check more often for items that have been mis-diagnosed.

  • Norman E Dunn Jr commented  ·   ·  Report

    Don't like that when there is unread mail in trash and spam it does not show on main screen and need more color choices!!!
