Message alert number does not show up at the top level of the folder. It will
only show up on the subfolder. Is there a way to change it so that if there
are folders and subfolders in the Inbox folder, new message alert will appear
on the top level of the subfolder? Right now, I would have to expand the
subfolders in order to check to see if mails have been moved into it.

Can we let microsoft programmers know about this so they can add this to the
next upgrade or update? I have missed couple of emails because I did not
expand out all my folders in the Inbox. Thank you for your reply.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.
