Outlook Express Message count - total versus read/unread

[Oliver]

Sorry for the double post.

Background:

By design (I think), Outlook Express 6 shows a count of unread messages
on the left navigator, next to each folder name. The folders do not
show the count of total or read messages next to the folder name. Thus,
if all messages in a folder have been read, there won't be a numerical
display next to the folder name at all.

Now, if a user wants to see more message count information, and VIEW ->
LAYOUT -> BASIC -> "Status Bar" is checked, the status bar at the
bottom of Outlook Express window will appear, and display the total
message count and how many messages are unread. However, this display
in the status bar is always only true for the currently opened folder
("the one the user has clicked on").

Question:

Is it correct that these two methods to read message count information
for folders in Outlook Express are the only methods?

A client suggests that there is another way, and that the total count
actually can appear next to the folder. I have searched in the
properties, but wonder whether this is even possible.

Thanks much!

I was not able to find a confirmation. I am beginning to think that
the status bar is the only solution. Thanks anyway for the link.
