It is checked Bruce. And, some of my primary folders to not expand when a
new message arrives, as has always been the case in the years I've used OE.

The folder doesn't open, the folder tree expands.

Tools | Options | General. Check: Automatically expand folders with unread
messages.

Ohhh, okay...usually a folder opens when an email comes in that goes to
one of the sub-folders I pre-determined via Messages-Mail, et al. Then,
the sub-folder is in bold.

noticed
one, "Family," wasn't about a month ago, but now two more are not
opening.
Each has at least 8 sub-folders in it, and one has a great number of
sub-folders. I compact my folders, off-line, daily.

Any suggestions? I have XP Pro, SP2, IE 6, use OE, and run AVG daily,
and
AdAware, Spybot S&D every few days, and Penicillin about once a month,
just
as a habit. Have the MS firewall on, and use ZoneAlarm, as well, and
rarely
accept 'intrusions.' Thank you.
