Default Outlook 2003 - follow up and unread in same folder possible?

I've looked most everywhere ...really need to figure out if it's
possible to have one folder that shows everything in the my follow up
folder and my unread folder. To me, that seems like a no-brainer as
what a person would want, but can't find a way to make it happen.

....any help out there? Thanks!

A Search folder should be able to do that.

Can you "search" or set up rules on a follow up folder? I'm looking
to combine these two, but keep them intact ...a rule would be great -
but I don't know how to set it up involving the "follow up folder", or
flagged items...

You can't create a search folder of a search folder but you can create a new
search folder that shows items marked for followup or unread.

It's one of the default search folder choices. Right-click Search Folders,
select New Search Folder, and select "Mail either unread or flagged for follow
up".
