You might want to right click the folder, choose customize and deselect your
main folder tree and just select a few for which you really care about. If
you have 65K email in there...I think you're kinda defeating the purpose of
worrying about unread emails since you obviously also have it pointing to
folders for which you're not too concerned about actually reading those
emails. Point it just to those ToDo, Inbox, etc folders that are important.
Sorry...don't have any more technical answer other than minimizing what you
see in the list.
Good luck.

Subject: [mso] Outlook 2003 - Unread mail folder
The unread mail folder is one of my favorite features in Outlook 2003 - it
lets me see everything new even though I filter all my lists into separate
folders.
HOWEVER, I just found that I had 65,655 (or whatever the magic number is
where it won't accept any more) messages in that folder even though less
than 2,500 are actually unread.
I tried recreating the unread mail search folder both manually and using the
unread mail choice to no avail - 95% of what it contains are messages that
have either been read or are marked as read.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? It is fully updated and
detected and repaired.
Thanks,
Mark
