Inbox not called Inbox anymore

Aquaman

For some reason my Inbox in Outlook 2000 (on XP) has
changed name and is now called SATURDAY, which happens to
be a the name of an appointment in Outlook calendar.

I tried to change it's name back through Properties but it
won't let me change it.

Can anyone help?

You can run the following macro to rename it. Put the following code
in a code module in the Outlook VBA project. Open VBA by pressing
Alt+F11. Use Insert, Module to add a new module. Put the code in the
module, put the cursor in the code and press F5 to run the code:

Sub InboxName()
Dim oInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Set oInbox = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") _
.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

oInbox.Name = "Inbox"

Set oInbox = Nothing
End Sub

No, I don't have Exchange anymore. Is there any other way
to rename the Inbox?
