When auto archived folders appear in the 'all mail view window' of outlook

they look exactly as the 'live' inbox files, when multiple auto archived

folders are opened out so that fill th window it is hard to tell if you are

in the live inbox or the archive inbox. A key reason why i miss-file my

emails.(very confusing and frustrating!)



For clarity why can't auto archived folders appear with the folder names in

a different colour? - so instantly the user can tell if he/she is in the live

or archived section.
