In outlook 2007 i like to keep all my emails very organised so i have ended up with quite a bit of folder cascading. Its great when i start going through all the email that i know where it all is but the big problem is the unread count does not "cascade down the tree".

For instance if i have my folders like this:

  • Logs (20)
    • Failed logs (100)
    • Timeout Logs (50)

I want to be able to see 170 in logs instead of just 20.

Unfortuantely I'm pretty sure there is no way to do this in outlook currently.

How about using search folders as the "sub folders"

Upvote for JS and search folders. I can't comment yet. :(

Search folders will give you the count of items meeting the criteria. In my case I have a search folder for backup failures. Any customer with a back up failure meets the search criteria and I can see at a glance the number of failure emails.
