Hi all,

Outlook 2007 folder properties allow the choice between "total messages" and
"unread messages", but I'm wondering if there's any way to use or build
another option.

I use categories extensively to mark messages I need that require my
attention. I would like to be able to see something like this:

- Inbox (<B> 24, <R> 12, <G> 1)
- Personal (<B> 3)
- Business (<R> 1 <G> 1)

.... and so on, where <B> is the blue category icon, <R> the red one, and <G>
the green one.

Anyone know of an app that does that?
If there isn't one, anyone know of someone or some company that might be
able to build it?

Thanks!

Myron

Outlook provides no hooks to developers to change the folder display like that. Maybe what you need is some search folders organized by category?
