I have created several rules to move incoming messages to designated
subfolders, but now I am unaware of new messages because they do not trigger
a new message alert since they are moved from the Inbox upon arrival. Is it
possible to setup a group to automatically expand if a new message arrives in
a subfolder? Any other suggestions to "see" new messages arriving into a
subfolder? Thank you!

This VBA example might work:

Public Sub ExpandFolder(Mail as Outlook.MailItem)
Dim F1 as Outlook.Mapifolder
Dim F2 as Outlook.Mapifolder

Set F1=Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
Set F2=Mail.Parent
Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder=F2
DoEvents
Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder=F1
End Sub

Open the VBA environment (alt+f11), strg+r, open "ThisOutlookSession" and
copy the code into that module and save it. Then edit your rule, and add
another action: After the message has been moved to the folder, add to run a
script.
