In outlook 2010 I am unable to show the number of messages within a particular group. For example, I categorise my messages and then when I sort by category, there is no way to show the number of messages within that(those) category(ies).
Previous versions of outlook would do this by default, but I am not finding the setting to do this in Outlook 2010. If it isn't possible, is there anything method to count those messages within a group/category easily?

I accomplished this with a Custom Search folder and then adding it to my "Favorites" view for convenience.
I right-clicked on Search Folders and did "New Search Folder..."
Take the bottom option in the list to create a Custom Search Folder.
Click Choose and give it a name. For criteria go to "More Choices" tab and check "unread" and save that.
Finally, select the folders that you want to be counted/included and you're done.
If you want it up in the Favorites list just right click on your new custom search folder and "Add to favorites."
Hope that helps.
