When going to a specific message folder that is empty, the message says “you don’t have any messages”.

At the same time, I _do_ have messages - in other folders.

Shouldn’t the wording be

“You don’t have any **new** messages”  
“You don’t have any **sent** messages”  
and so on,

Or simply:

“This folder is empty” ?

Now it implies that I don’t have _any messages at all_.
