  • If it's anything like Outlook 2013 and earlier, you can't. It's either 'Unread', or 'Total count', no other option. Have you checked the properties of the folder to see which related options are available? May 15, 2018 at 19:33
  • Those are the two options, but they are both grayed out. As you implied, neither are what I want. An unread count is ignorant in this context. May 15, 2018 at 19:34
  • Kind of odd they are greyed out, even though it's a calendar entry. Regardless of that though, it's one or the other; unless someone comes up with a hack. May 15, 2018 at 19:38
  • It wouldn't be so bad if I could right-click and "Mark All As Read" like you can on an email folder. Why would anyone even want to see an unread count of meetings? Like, I can't even wrap my brain around it. This particular 1 meeting is literally in 2 months. I had to FIND it to "read" it. /rant May 15, 2018 at 19:40

In Microsoft Outlook, by default the unread item count for public folders is not displayed. However, once the public folder is added to Public Folder Favorites, the unread item count will be turned on. From the image, it looks the calendar is in your Public Folder Favorites, correct? try remove it from favorites and see whether the issue continues. Otherwise, you'll need to have move higher permission on the public folder calendar to turn on/off the unread item count.
