Esteban,

Edit: Fixed font doesn't allow leading "spaces" cannot make good structure in examples. Sorry.

It does and I use it. My comment was related to its "overuse"!

Because Outlook does not propagate the "New mail" indication in sub-folders up to the enclosing folder, you must expand the hierarchy to see new mail.

For example, a 4 level hierarchy may have:

- Inbox
- Friends
- Local
Bill (6)
Cindy (1)
Ted (2)
- Distant
Jerry (2)
Sam (1)

With the number in () indicating new mail. If I shrink the folders, I get:

- Inbox
- Friends
+ Local
+ Distant

More useful would be:

- Inbox
- Friends
+ Local (9)
+ Distant (3)

I only use rules to place mail in the "Local" and "Distant" level of the hierarchy and manually distribute from there after I have read and handled the item.
