# 7.6. How can I find out how many unread messages I have in a mail folder?

When you click on a mail folder in the Folders Pane, the total number of messages and the number of unread messages is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the main window.

In previous versions of Kmail, this was the only way to find out how many unread messages were in a folder. Now, the number of unread messages is conveniently displayed in the Folders Pane after the folder name.
