Show number of emails in a folder

Post by Octopuss » 2026-02-18, 18:35

Is there any way to display the number of emails in folders? In the folder tree in the left that is.

I hope I use the correct terms, and that this is what you are looking for...

At the top of the tree pane, where it says "Name", right-click and choose "Total".

Can you post a screenshot please? I have no "name" anywhere in the folder view.

I have subfolders under inbox, and I want to see what the total number of emails is in each one of them.

Turn on [main menu] View => Layout => Folder Pane Columns. That will visify the Folder-stats in the right-most column. Unread, Total (count) and Size can be set On and Off.

Aha!! That works well enough (even if not 100% what I would prefer), thank you.

There's an add-on "Extra Folder Columns" that shows unread count even with Folder Pane Columns turned Off. Version 1.1.5 works in EP 2.2.0.
Unrelated: this empty context menu pops up after right-clicking the header band.

Awesome. I'll look that up.
I just with addons site was accessible from withing Epyrus. Not that downloading and manually installing is a problem, but it's a bit inconvenient.

edit: Oh wait, is it not Epyrus addon? I guess it's for Thunderbird on Mozilla's website or something?

Oh ok, the addon only shows unread count. That's not entirely what I'm looking for.
