Starred messages in folders [number given does not include them]
The number of starred messages showing from INBOX does not include starred messages in folders. Is there a way to search for all starred messages, or [preferred] to have a folder that SHOWS all starred messages. I like to put starred messages in appropriate folders, but also like to review them regularly in case they were "dated" or no longer deserve the starred status. Thanks, and BTW, I am 69, a semi-retired pastor, so make it simple for me if you can. Blessings, Dave

Via 'Menu Bar' toolbar
- 'Edit' > 'Find' > 'Search Messages'
- OR use 'Ctrl+Shift+F' keys
- Search for messages: select the mail account name - not a folder.
- Select checkbox 'Search subfolders'
- Select 'Match all of the following'
- Select 'Status' and 'is' and 'Starred'
- click on 'Search' button
- click on 'Save as Search folder'
- Give search folder a name such as 'All Starred'
- Select a location where this search folder should be located eg: name of mail account
- click on 'Choose'
- Select all the necessary folders in all the mail account whcih you want included.
- click on 'OK'
- Click on 'Create'
A folder called 'All Starred' will now appear in the Folder Pane.
If you need to modify anything such as remove a folder from the search or add a new one etc.
- Right click on the 'All Starred' folder and select 'Properties'
- Click on 'Choose' to modify selection
- click 'OK'
- click on 'Update'
Note this search folder should keep up to date.
