Unified inbox or incoming messages view

Status
Not open for further replies.
Everything's fine, I do have custom views and all the settings... but as I said, as soon as I introduce the "IMAP status equals unmarked" filter, the custom Unified Inbox will go into some sort of infinite Searching loop, with high CPU strain (the CPU fan rpm goes up, so it's audible too :) ...). If I do this on a separate IMAP account's Inbox, it works fine, though.
 
It seems I won't be needing that filter after all.

I found out that only iCloud's me.com account gives the issues with strike-through on deleted/moved messages (locally). The other two IMAP accounts actually move an item normally into their corresponding Deleted Items folders when deleting, or move to another local folder, not leaving anything in the IMAP's folder on the server.

Not sure if it's a bug -- the only difference is that the me.com IMAP account in Outlook was created a while ago (and the purge-when-switching-folders was on at that time). Perhaps I should try to delete the account and create it anew.
 
I'll test it with my me account and see if i can repro.
 
Thanks.

BTW, is there any way to have that Unified Inbox search shown as a folder on the left (in the navigation pane), including the number of unread items (such as is the case with the usual Inbox folder)? Or is this feature not available for "All Mail Items" searches? I know it works with the Search Folders section, but they only work within their corresponding PST files.

Right now I have a shortcut button on Quick Access Toolbar to run the unified inbox search macro.

How about Desktop Alerts (the small windows that slide in from the Windows status bar, showing brief content of new items), should they be working in my case or not? So far it seems they were only working when the default POP3 Inbox/PST was in action; with the IMAP & Unified Inbox setup I have now, all I get is that envelope icon when there are new messages.
 
Search folders doesn't work for all mail items, only per data file.

Desktop alerts are goofy. They definitely should work for the default account and should work for the secondary accounts in 2010/2013, but its kinda hit or miss with imap accounts, because imap gets the header then the full body and outlook won't always display the alerts.
 
One more question regarding the unified inbox view... It was carried over to 2013 upgrade without any issues. There is however one difference: It doesn't show RSS feeds. Why is that so?
The search string is "folder:Inbox" and it's set to All Mailboxes. I have a couple of RSS feeds which get delivered to the default Inbox in the defaul local PST file (the one containing tasks and calendar as well). They don't show up (they did in "2010"). Should the code be changed for "2013"?
 
As long as they are still being delivered to the inbox, it should work just as it is. I don't think anything changed between versions but will check on it.
 
Well, I left it a couple of hours just to rule out the indexing thing, but the RSS items in the main Inbox are still not displayed. The code for the view is as follows:

Sub UnifiedInbox()
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
txtSearch = "folder:Inbox"
myOlApp.ActiveExplorer.Search txtSearch, olSearchScopeAllFolders
Set myOlApp = Nothing
End Sub
