Outlook XP - Auto Expand Sub Folders

[JoshFink]

Ok.. Just want to say thank you in advance for the help.

Ever since I went to Outlook XP anytime I receive mail into a subfolder, it does not auto expand. I have to go through my folders and search for unread mail.

Now, I don't know if this is an XP or Office XP issue as I upgraded both at the same time.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thank You

Josh

Do you have this option checked ?
Through options, there must be (just like in Outlook Express) something like 'Automatically display folders that contain unread mails' ... I don't know Outlook at all, but it shouldn't be that different for this matter, should it ?
Hope this helps you a little in your 'quest' ?

Good luck anyway, keep us informed !

Good thought, but I do not see it anywhere.

Where exactly is it in OE?

Thanks

Josh

In Outlook Express:
Tools, Options, General, Check mark Automatically display folders with unread messages

Hope this helps!

Well, if it's there, I can't see it.

Thanks Though

In OE:
It is the third item down on the general tab.

Sorry if this doesn't help - hopefully someone using Outlook XP will be able to get ya there!

Hopefully so. The weird thing is it used to do it by default. Don't know why they would change it.

Thanks Again

Josh
