Living with focused inbox...
Totally agree. I finally got Focused Inbox enabled in Outlook desktop, and immediately find the single Inbox unread count disconcerting.
Searching for "outlook focused inbox mark as read" brought me here!
Were we able to do this with the Clutter folder?
I think the best solution would be for the Unread count to only show the count for the 'folder' you are viewing.
I have the same request. I used my inbox as a to-do box. If a message is unread it is because I have not yet worked the issue. I need to get the "other" item count out of my "focused" count.
I like the focused inbox but also hate the unread "other" counts. As with others above i also use "unread" to ID work or replies that I need to get back to. Maybe I'm a little OCD but uncleared notifications bother me so I've gotten into a habit of marking all as read if the Focused inbox is clear just to get rid of them. But it's still annoying considering how well Outlook does in sorting emails. Hopefully this is something they think to add next time around.
