deleted unread mail folder
I accidentally deleted my "unread mail" folder from favorites. My new mail
would go into that folder (which would then be in bold) and I could read all my new mail in one place. Since I deleted the folder, all mail goes into its individual folder or the inbox, and I have to scan hundreds of mail folders for my new mail. I want my unread mail folder back, and my unread mail to go in there until it has been opened, after which it "disappears" from the unread mail folder and goes only into its own specified mail folder. |

deleted unread mail folder
Did that. But my new unread mail still won't go into "unread mail", for one
place to go and read my new mail "on its way" to its individual folder.......

The Unread Mail folder does not actually hold any messages -- it just points
to the originals in the folders they are actually in.

deleted unread mail folder
But the Unread Mail Folder does not become bold anymore, allowing me to open
it and view all my new, unread mail, in one place. It's as though the mail isn't "passing through" the unread mail folder, even temporarily. I know it doesn't "hold" the messages....

Yes. And I sent a test email. It went into my inbox which became bold, but my
unread mail folder sits as before, not in bold, pointing to nowhere.

And if you click on the Unread Messages folder, it doesn't repopulate?

No. The mail is bypassing the Unread mail folder on its way to its
destination folder.

deleted unread mail folder
Again, the messages are not really "bypassing" the unread messages
folder...since the UM folder is not a pitstop on the way to anything :-) The problem is that the messages are not showing up in your UM folder after they arrive in their destination folders, and they should. UM should give you a listing, by folder, of any unread messages in those folders (it will not show folders where there are no unread messages). At this point I think it's time you ran the Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe -- search for it on your hard drive) against your .PST when Outlook is closed, to see if it can find and repair any problems in the file. Allow the program to make a backup copy of your .PST file before it makes any changes. -- Jocelyn Fiorello MVP - Outlook *** Messages sent to my e-mail address will NOT be answered -- please reply only to the newsgroup to preserve the message thread. *** "Nancy" wrote: No. The mail is bypassing the Unread mail folder on its way to its destination folder.
