Unread Mail

[ask100]

I use MS Outlook and have accidentally deleted the 'Unread Mail' folder. How can I reset it up again so that it will work?

unread mail folder? what you mean you've deleted the inbox?

try this, close outlook by clicking on the file menu and select exit, then click start > run and type in the following (without the quotes) "outlook.exe /resetfolders"

i assume you've set up a special "unread mail folder" and deleted it?
If so, it will be in your deleted items, just drag it back to under your inbox.
