One solution is to use the IMAP "list" command to retrieve the folders then "examine" each one. Enter the list command as follows: 1 LIST "" *
That will return ALL folders include recursed folders. Then use the "examine" command directly on the returned folder name. Example, if the recursed folder returned from the list is "folder/folder1/folder2", you can examine it by using: 1 EXAMINE folder/folder1/folder2 Chris ---------------------------------------------- Original Message From: "Ron Hornbaker"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Number of New Messages Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 11:42:42 -0600 >Chris and Alan, > >Regarding using IMAP for the new message check, how would you make it >include the number of new messages in subfolders, which are there from the >result of mailbox rules?
