Unread Junk E-mail appearing in Unread Mail in Outlook 2007

[BobS]

In Outlook 2003 unread Junk E-mail and Deleted Items never appeared in my
Unread Mail folder view, now in Outlook 2007 they always appear in Unread
Mail.

Are other Outlook 2007 users experiencing the same thing?

Anyone know how to make Outlook 2007 not show unread junk e-mail in my
Unread Mail folder?

If this is just how it is not working then Outlook 2007 is a step backwards
when you want to monitor your Unread Mail folder. Junk E-mail should be out
of sight and out of mind until I decide to review what is in that folder
before I empty the folder with a right click on the Junk E-mail folder.

This also true for other e-mails I delete from my Unread Mail folder that
was not Junk E-mail. After I delete an e-mail item, it moved to the Unread
Mail folder in the Deleted Items folder so it I am still seeing it in the
Unread Mail folder.

Is anyone else having this same experience and preceiving it as a problem?

Does anyone have a fix for the Deleted Items unread e-mails not appearing in
the Unread Mail folder too?

Hello,

right-click on "Unread Mail" under "Search Folders" in the folder pane and
select "Customize this Search folder".
In this windows you choose "Browse" and can now select which folders should
be monitored.
If you enable the option "Search subfolders" don't select your root
mailbox-folder, otherwise it would also search your "Junk E-mail" folder.

Roman,

Your answer was just what was needed. Thank you very much.

Now if Microsoft would only have a box to "check all" instead of just a
"clear all", I could have then just unchecked three boxes, Personal Folder,
Deleted Items and Junk E-mail instead of checking 80+ subfolders in my Inbox.

I am a happy camper thanks to your quick response. I should have joined the
user forum and sent today's post 5 weeks ago. Thanks again, BobS

Hello BobS,

you do not need to select all subfolders. You can just enable "Search
subfolders" and select inbox. Then the subfolders of inbox are also
searched, although they are'nt "checked" in the browse-view.

Why check 80 subfolders of your Inbox? Only select your Inbox folder and
select Search subfolders.

Roady,

You are correct. When I clicked all of the subfolders within the Inbox, I
originally thought that Junk E-mail was an Inbox subfolder, but it is at the
same level.

I went to your website. Are you going to write a Configuring Outlook 2007
book too? Thank you for your response. BobS

Thanks for asking. There are no definite plans yet but I'm thinking about it
and try to find out how much public for it would be. I guess I'd better
start writing a proposal ;-) When the idea turns into a plan I'll announce
it on my website for sure!
