Messages not showing up in Inbox

My two year old son got his hands on my laptop and who knows what settings he
changed, but now no emails are showing up in my inbox, even though I know
there should be several there. I figured out that if I change the “Current
View†dropdown to “Last 7 days†I can view some emails, but I need to be able
to view past seven days (like it was before). It appears the default view is
“Messagesâ€, but when I select that, no emails show up. Any help would be
appreciated!

run outlook once from the windows Run box with the /cleanviews switch added.

e.go. outlook.exe /cleanviews

it might save you the hassle of finding out just what has been changed.

Thank you, that worked! What does that switch mean? Does it change
everything back to the default views or something?

Yes. It changes back to default views.
You could have mucked around try gin to change the view that was out but
that switch made it easy.
There's a heap of other switches. Enter "command-line switches" in the
Outlook Help box and you'll get to a list of them.
