The status pane tells you everything you need to know about how outlook is doing. For instance; If you select an unread message then go to the extreme bottom left of your outlook window, you will be able to see an items option. This indicates the number of things in that message folder. It can also tell you whether outlook is syncing with the server and many other things.
