Mail folders think they are calendar folders

B

Bagheera

I have a number of pst files each with their own mail boxes. Every now and
then, the mailboxes disappear from the 'Favorite Folders' pane. I had
previously right clicked and added them to 'My Favorites'.

If I display the Folder list, they are shown with a 'calendar' icon beside
them, instead of a 'mail folder' icon. They do not show in the folder list
when I select the mail tab, only when I view all the folders so, to see them,
I have to view calendars, then view the Folder list. Having located them, if
I right click to add them to 'My Favorites', this option has changed to 'Add
to My Calendars'. If I do this, when I view calendars, clicking on this new
shortcut displays a calendar, not a mail folder.

Clicking on them in the folder list does indeed show my messages, and
incoming messages are still finding their way to the right folder according
to the rules that I've set up.

I am using Outlook 2003. This has happened since I installed the software
(ActiveSync 3.8) for my PDA. After a while of tinkering, re-booting etc, it
often reverts to working properly, then one day I turn on my PC and it's
flipped again.

Any thoughts on what's going on and how to stop it would be very much
appreciated. Thanks.
