re :This is a problem because there a several Parent folders and I have to open up each one of the in order to find in which Child Folder the mail went to. When you have a load of nested foldered which are in a collapsed state then you are not going to know exactly which folder has mail mail until you click to open and drill down folders. But you could use a much easier option. * Edit > Find > Search Messages * search for messages in: select the mail account name not a specific folder * Select : Search subfolders * Select : Match all of the following * 'Status' 'is' 'New' * click on 'Search' Now you see every new mail. If you want to know which folder they are in then enable the column header 'Location' But you do not really want to do this every time you want to find new mail so do this: * click on 'Save as search folder' * Give it a suitable name like 'New mail' * Create as a subfolder of the actual mail account name so it becomes a top level folder. * Click on 'Create' Now you will have a special saved search folder as a top level folder in the account. You do not select to save anything in this virtual type of folder. Whenever other folder indicate new mail or you just want to quickly check - use this 'New Mail' search folder. From now onwards all new mail should be quickly visible via the search folder called 'New Mail' If you select another folder and read a new email then the search folder gets updated automatically to not include that email. If you select to read in the 'New Mail' folder then it's also not new mail in original folder. This is how to get a quick view of what is new without ever needing to hunt it down. In the 'New Mail' folder you can easily enable the column header 'Location' to see which folder it is in. Try it out, it's really a game changer.
