Displaying unread message count in the left navigation under your favorite spaces

[Tobias Zimmergren]

Hi,

In the left hand navigation today, there's only links to the "favorite spaces", but there's no real way for a user to know whether there's actually any new discussions or notifications happening in there. Currently I would have to click through each and every one of them (10+) to see if there's something new - and even then, it's not clear what is new and what isn't. 

Suggestions: 

- Display an indicator like "My Space Name - 11 new posts" or similar in the left menu when you expand it. 

- Display an indicator when you've navigated to that space, saying which posts are actually unread

- Enable a filter on the space where you could tick a box saying "Show only unread" or similar. 

Cheers,

Tobias.

The problem is still not fixed in Office 2021 Pro. I have multiple accounts, so I keep them all as IMAP accounts. I have pinned the inbox folder to my favorites, but I don't get an unread counter in it.
