+== Nested flolders add subtotals within subfolders ==
+Currently, the total number of new messages within a nested folder is not necessarily displayed in the parent directory. This causes messages to go unread and makes organization difficult for users who receive a large number of e-mails. Else, the user is forced to nest the most important messages in the root directory, rather than by category. Conversely, automated messages are sometimes safe to ignore, but a record of them is required. The current feature of filtering unread folders does not address the second case. Therefore, a  feature which totals the number of unread messages within all child sub-folders could be a valuable option for parent folders. Prioritizing e-mails through filters is a possible workaround, but this is clumsy at best, since it requires the user to ignore categorization in favor of static priorities--The frequency with which a certain sub-category of emails must be actively monitored is not a always consistent.
