Folder message count (Outlook 2003)

[JHG]

One of my mail folders shows the message count in this fashion after the
folder name: [7] and is displayed in green. All of the others display the
count this fashion: (2) and is in blue. Why is the other different and what
do the different bracket styles indicate?

Thanks,
JHG

PS: number in brackets for both styles is always accurate count of unread
messages in the folder.

one is unread the other is total messages. You can change it per folder by
right clicking on the folder and choosing properties.
