HELP... Outlook Dissapearing Folder!

One of my folders in Outlook has just disappeared. I did not delete it and
am familiar with the prompt that appears when you delete a folder, asking if
you really want to remove the folder and move its contents to "Deleted
Items." I have checked the "Deleted Items" folder. I have confirmed that
it was not dragged anywhere. I have tried running scanpst.exe. I am out
of ideas and have lost of ton of e-mail... HELP!

What folder? What version of Outlook? You can delete something without the
item going to the Deleted Items folder.

Thanks for the response... it is Outlook 2003. It is a folder that I
created to serve as an inbox. I have different e-mail accounts and have
set up rules to direct the e-mail from certain accounts into folder for that
account. One of the folders is just gone. The interesting thing is that
I did not do any deleting between when I had it and when it disappeared. I
never got the warning message. I have "Deleted Items" set up to only clean
out manually. I have confirmed it is not in "Deleted Items." I have
expanded every folder and plus sign in the tree to make sure I did not drag
it. Help.....

Do you know of a message you had in that folder? If so, try a search to see
if that message is found. If it is, search will tell you where it is.
Perhaps that can help find the folder. Outside of that, since you already
ran the Inbox Repair Tool, I have no ideas.
