I inadvertently moved (I hope I moved it) but it didn't go where I intended
to put it. Now I can't find the folder at all. I'd appreciate any suggestions
anyone might have (especially if they work)!

Hard to say without any configuration information.
Normally you'd immediately use the Undo function but if you did something in
between already, that is not going to work anymore.

You can do a mailbox wide search for an item you know that should be in that
folder. If you can't find it; then the folder is no longer there and you
should restore from backup. If it can find it, expand your folder tree to
find the folder.

Try a search within outlook for either the folder or a mail you know it
contained

Thabks. I thought I moved the entire folder, which is what I cannot find. The
Undo function doesn't help because I did various things looking for the
folder. The issue isn't critical but I really would like to find the folder
and emails. Looking for the emails hasn't turned anything up and I don't know
how to search for a folder itself.

Thanks, but I have tried the subject search. I do not know how to search
specifically search for a folder.

You cannot search for a folder name. You'd have to expand the folder tree
for that and look at the folder names.

Thanks for your help. A friend was over and found it while I was outside so I
have no idea what she did (and she isn't telling)!

Thanks, the folder was found by a friend who came over while I was outside.
She isn't telling me how but I'll worm it out of her. :-)

You can't search for folders in Outlook. Windows Desktop Search, Google
Desktop Search and several others will show the folder path.
