I host Open Mic Night every Tuesday night and usually can be found singing karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights.

@technobabble I don't do karaoke as such... but I do provide my own backing

Backing as in backup singer?

Did anyone else convert their .pst to Office 365.

Lots of people. It's not really "converting" it, it's just uploading to Exchange

True...just trying to figure out why the folders in OWA didn't show numbers until I created the rule in OWA.

Did anyone else convert their .pst to Office 365.

Update...

So now that I have removed all rules, created one new rule using OWA, I now have a 1 to the right of the folder that has email!

The mobile OneNote app is getting there, but it isn't quite there yet. It should take a functionality lesson from Evernote.

I second that. If Evernote ever gets tables that look and work just like OneNote, I will switch to EN instead of juggling between both!

I have found, incorrectly typing in the database name and database username is the culprit.

On my CentOS box with cPanel, database name is techno_name-of-database, database username is techno_admin.

Hmm... I have rules that I made in Outlook 2013, and the unread mail numbers show next to all of my subfolders in OWA. I'm not sure what could have broken your folders. Have you tried making a new rule since you deleted all of the original ones?

This morning I created one new rule in OWA and I will update if it does anything. #Annoyance: Can't find how "run rules now".

At this time I have no desktop and am just using the browser/web app (OWA) and standard mail apps on Android. Also earlier in the week I had deleted all my rules while in OWA.

Did you have to delete them? you couldn't disable them instead?

Yes I know I could have disabled, this is why you shouldn't do tech work when really really annoyed! However since this issue has plagued me since I converted my POP to Office 365 (Exchange) and Office 2010 to Office 2013 I just figured it might be an issue.

Fun fact: My .pst started life in XP PC with Office 2003 and I have upgraded it through the years, not to mention how many PC's it's been moved from!

To run rules Manually:
Go to rules in Outlook (no idea if this can be done in OWA)
Manage Rules and alerts
And uncheck your rules that you don't want to auto sort into your folders.
To run rules: click on run rules know under manage rules and alerts.

I do this so everything is front and center on my cell phone, or Ipad or..... and then just sort when I am at my desk a couple times a week.

At this time I have no desktop and am just using the browser/web app (OWA) and standard mail apps on Android. Also earlier in the week I had deleted all my rules while in OWA.

Drafting Chairs

Well, I just might have to rethink some things...Drafting chairs and tall workbench might be what this home office needs. Drafting chairs does sound like something a Nascar fan would have in his living vRooom!

keg as in beer? LOL...having Guiness draught right now.

Well that sounds much better. Again I started with 2010. However until Office 365 I never had Sharepoint.

Well if the Outlook/Office 365 pros want to chime in, I would be appreciative.

Most of the rules were from 2010 and when I got 2013 update I created more. I wonder if since 95% of my rules were client based and not server based...

Can't hurt to try the rules in OWA.

Well we have a blatant self promotion group now, I'll take advantage of that to get my name out there a little bit more. I'm never one to shy away from some blatant self promotion.

Thanks @steve

Woot woot!

I would love to give you a screen shot, but since I deleted all server rules, all email dumps into inbox.

However your screenshot is what my desktop outlook used to look like, but never did my office 365 outlook look like that. It showed the amount of emails in the inbox only. No numbers on my folders at all.
