Outlook XP: no clear notification of filtered new messages

I have rules that move incoming messages from the inbox to other
folders. Under Outlook 2000, those folders would get opened up so that
the bold folder name (with the new message) could be seen. With XP,
even that small indication of filtered new mail is gone.

Eudora had the right idea years ago - bold the name of all parent
folders of subfolders with new messages.

Can I make Outlook do anything at all about this? I found messages a
week old because I was unaware of this (mis)behavior. How about some
clever VBA to either bold the parent folder names, or at least open
the parent folders so the bolded subfolder name can be seen. Or maybe
a macro to generate a list of all folders with unread messages.

Thanks

I am using POP3 only and thus only client rules. I believe I have
service pack 2 installed.
