I want to display the total number of items in a mail folder in Outlook for Mac 2011, not just the number of unread.

This is easy in Outlook 2010 for Windows, but I can't find the option on my Mac.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I discovered the Flagged Mail 'Smart' folder this morning.  Clicked on one of the flagged emails, but clicked too far to the right, which cancelled the flag and the email disappeared from the list.  Did a search for it, reapplied the flag, then went to return to my inbox and was asked if I wanted to save the changes to the 'Smart' folder, which I did, and now the Flagged Mail 'Smart' folder only contains the emails from the results of the search that I did!  I really do NOT like this Outlook!!  It's riddled with booby traps.  
I had asked this question already and was told in the Reply that I should click on 'Options' in the tool bar etc.etc,etc.   There is no 'Options' in my toolbar.  There are only two words there and nothing that led to adding names to my Groups folder.  Help!!!
So I logged into my hotmail today and all the messages I've saved was gone, I just had to messages in my inbox, I log onto my account every single day so I know that my account is not tagged as inactive

All my inbox messages are gone, but the messages I've sent, deleted or moved to a folder is still there, it's just my inbox messages, please help, I have important emails that I need for work
I transferred content from the old computer to the new one (XP to W7) using Belkin.   I used the import process within Live Mail which sent all the unread mail one place and created an Import Folder in Storage.  However, the Import Folder is empty.  Is there a way to direct ALL the files into storage?  The import process within Live Mail does not designate where it will send the files and does not give the user an option.   Is there another way?
Need a help, How can we export a single folder in outlook for mac so that it can be transferred to another computer running outlook for windows. I have tried the procedure in outlook for windows & it works you can export a folder to a .csv file and then import it to another computer running outlook. Someone please help.
I use Outlook 2011 to collect email from a Network Solutions hosted IMAP mail service.  Over the last several weeks, I've noticed issues with mail being picked up by Outlook HOURS after it arrived.

In troubleshooting this, I noticed that, despite the fact that a new message is sitting in my Inbox, I cannot convince Outlook to go get it.  Right-clicking to bring up the contextual menu on the Inbox and then selecting "Synchronize Now" does nothing.  Using the "Send And Receive All" does nothing.  Heck, even "Repair Folder" does nothing.  Sometimes quitting Outlook and restarting it does the trick, but not always.

I have tried changing the time in the "Sync all IMAP folders every ___ minutes".
I have tried checking and unchecking the "Use IMAP IDLE if the server supports it" option.
I have tried changing the time in the "Refresh server connection after ___ minutes".

I have verified that Outlook 2010 for Windows operates properly, thereby eliminating server-side issues.

I have deleted the IMAP account in Outlook, repaired the database, and then added it back.  After the initial sync, the problem reappears.

I have created a new user in Mac OS X and then launched Outlook from there and the problem persists.

I have installed a fresh copy of Mac OS X (Lion) and Office 2011 on another Mac and have verified the problem there.

I created a new email account in our Network Solutions hosted IMAP service and have verified the problem with the new account through all of the permutations above.

I am running the latest version of Mac OS X Lion (not Mountain Lion) and Outlook 14.2.3

The one thing I did notice, through all of the above tests, including the ones with the new email account, is Outlook is doing some sort of IMAP communications with the server even when Send And Receive All is not set to run, and even when all of the "sync" options are turned off.  According to the log (yes, I did have logging turned on), the following shows up every 4 minutes whether I have Outlook syncing or not:

[   204049us, d      6885us] Outlook Exchange Web Services: Engine[IMAP folder ]: There are 5 potentially modified local records since 1/1/1904
0:0:0 [159360480]
[   204049us, d         0us] Outlook Exchange Web Services: Scanning map for required actions
[   204049us, d         0us] Outlook Exchange Web Services: Engine[IMAP folder ]: There are 0 remote records to add locally
[   204049us, d         0us] Outlook Exchange Web Services: Engine[IMAP folder ]: There are 0 changes to push up
[   204049us, d         0us] Outlook Exchange Web Services: Engine[IMAP folder ]: There are 0 changes to pull down
[   204049us, d         0us] Outlook Exchange Web Services: Engine[IMAP folder ]: There are 0 conflicting records
[   204049us, d         0us] Outlook Exchange Web Services: Engine[IMAP folder ]: There are 0 local records to push up
[   204049us, d         0us] Outlook Exchange Web Services: Engine[IMAP folder ]: There are 0 local records to delete
[   204049us, d         0us] Outlook Exchange Web Services: Engine[IMAP folder ]: There are 0 remote records to delete
[   204055us, d         6us] Outlook Exchange Web Services: ---------- Engine: Ending "IMAP folder " Sync [time:8/31/2012 2:12:43 [216514212]] ----------

All of the other log entries are of the form "[IMAP folder INBOX]" or "[IMAP folder Sent Items]".  I do not know what folder this is.  The above is from my efforts with a brand new email account.  The only folders that are automatically there are Inbox, Trash, Sent Items and Draft.  Outlook adds Drafts and Junk E-mail.  I added nothing, nor made any changes to the folder structure.  I can see no other folders through an email web interface, the Folder Browser in Outlook, or through any other mechanism.

**SO WHAT IS THIS NON-EXISTENT IMAP FOLDER THAT OUTLOOK KEEPS SYNCING?**

I am convinced that this is the key to the issue, since that 1/1/1904 date just smells bad.  (and, yes, I have reset the NVRAM and the PRAM on my computer and this shows up on both computers, so it's very unlikely to be a hardware issue).

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
I do not have a delete folder on the left hand side of my email. By mistake I deleted an email and now I cannot retrieve it. Please help.
