Come on! Terrible New UI decision
I'm not sure who Microsoftoutlook decided to place the number of unread messages right next to the folder name, but they clearly don't use Outlook with multiple email addresses and multiple subfolders taking automatically filed emails. It is now so much more effort to quick scan the folders for unread email. Please have a word with yourself! Rant over :-) Please can you make the position an option. While you are at it, please add font size and colour options for all folders with options to change when containing new email. Thanks!

I assume you are referring to the change in Classic Outlook where the Unread/Total count changed to left justified in 16.0.20026.20048?
It could just be a bug. Or someone at Microsoft thought it looked better that way, so they inflicted their personal taste on a few million users.
Use the Favorites feature and only have the folders you want to actively monitor located there. These can be any folder from any account.
I have 6 mailboxes with dozens of folders and this method works for me.
No need to rant :) Instead, go post this as suggestion over at the Feedback portal, where the relevant PMs lurk (and others can vote for your suggestion):

Ranting may help .... better than getting an AI response that decides it own thing
