Show number of unread items box gray out in Public Folders
 

I created some shared folders in the All Public Folders of Outlook 2003
running on Microsoft 2003 SBS. We want to be able to see when items are
added to these folders. When we click on the folders' properties, the "Show
number of unread items" box is grayed out. Is there any way to either have
the folder show bold when there are unread items or have the number show up
beside the folder?

Thanks for any help.

Show number of unread items box gray out in Public Folders
 

Try dragging the folder to Public Folder\Favorites.
