True, but that doesn't address the question of whether turning off the
ticker to the main accounts inbox means that no ticker will be
available for any of that account's subdirectories.
However, it may imply that since this not an area you are operating
in, you're not in a good position to provide the answer to that one,
so I probably shouldn't insist but rather try it myself.
But I can't, without going through the properties of all folders and
making sure that just the trial account's inbox is ticker deactivated
and a ticker activated sub-folder has an unread message or two, and I
can't do that now, there's too many. So for the time being, I will
assume that since each folder gives the ticker option, the ticker will
show unread messages in any folder programmed to use it, whether the
parent folder's ticker is activated or not.

OK

I'm getting more than I can look at and what you describe is part of
what I need and have begun to do.

Right.

It needs a Ticker Manager that let's you check & set the ticker
setting for each folder without having to go to the properties
settings of each, and greater selectivity, or filtering. As is, it
either shows or it doesn't show unread messages in a folder that
selected for it and that's all.
Best regards,
Douglas
