Hello folks, apologies being daft. I have come back to Thunderbird after a long time using Outlook. I cant seem to figure out how to just show the unread numbers next to folders in the sider bar e.g. inbox (31)

Sorry super basic I am sure, but cant seem to find an obvious answer in support.

Chosen solution

Enable View/Layout/Folder Pane Columns (press Alt if the Menu Bar is hidden), then click the icon to enable the Unread column (see picture).
