Why has the unread count moved to the end of the folder name?
See below yesterday the count was right justified as it should be.
The idiot that did this should be shot.
Please fix it

Please fix - this looks awful - alternatively, how do I turn off updates to make sure you don't mess with my workflow ever again ... after you fix this abomination?

how do I turn off [Office Outlook] updates
File -> Office Account -> Update Options -> Disable Updates
But in this case I think maybe you are after "How do I rollback to a previous version of Outlook?"
A search for officec2rclient.exe /update user should get you some help. And you'll need to know what version to rollback to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-microsoft365-apps-by-date
I'm on Version 2604 Build 16.0.19929.20172 and Unread/Total counts are still right-justified for me.
Please edit your original Question (click the stacked dots -> Edit) and change the Tags from:

The current tag is making it hard for people to find this thread.
This bug has now been fixed.
Please update to the latest version within the Current Channel. At the moment; Version 2605 (Build 20026.20076).
If you are still affected by it then, wait 5 minutes and restart Outlook. The fix should be active then.
Thanks for reporting!

This worked for me. I had to change my update channel to "current channel" and update to:
Microsoft Outlook for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2605 Build 16.0.20026.20140) 64-bit
Despite it sounding ridiculous, I also had to take the step of waiting, then exiting Outlook and relaunching it. Now the message counts are right-aligned again.
AI answer
This behavior is a result of recent Outlook UI changes and is not configurable back to the previous, right‑justified unread count using any supported setting in the provided documentation.
There is currently no option documented to revert this layout change. To influence future design, submit feedback directly from Outlook so it reaches the product team:
For general guidance on providing product feedback, see the Microsoft 365 feedback documentation referenced below.
