Hi

How to do this:
I have root folder and 4 subfoders under the root folder, they are all mail
item type. if subfolder1 have 2 new messages and subfolder2 have 3 new
messages, how to show the counter(5) beside the rootfolder?

Thanks...
 
This isn't supported: Outlook doesn't sum unread messages from subfolders.

A trick that might do what you're looking for - drag the subfolder to
the Outlook bar. Now you'll get a count of unread messages! (many users
don't like the Outlook bar, but if you're ok with it, then you have a
solution)

I also right-click on the Outlook bar and change the icon size to small
so I can see more folders.
