How to recover a deleted Junk Mail folder

[Guest]

Hi All,

I am experiencing a very frustrating problem, that i have attempted several
methods to fix! A client has inadvertantly deleted (permanently) their Junk
Email folder, and now has the problem of junk mails coming into her inbox.

I cannot recover the folder in the usual recover deleted items method. I
have also tried to start outlook using the /resetfolders switch which did not
work. Another method was suggested on a website about turning on and off the
Junk Mail filtering facility on Outlook Web access but alas, this did not
work.

The client is using Microsoft Office XP. Please can you help?!!!

Regards,


Claire

Hello Claire,

I hope yo uget an answer here. I cannot even blame the erased folder on
someone lse. I simply deleted it while not paying attention. I tried the
fixes you have as well as simply recreating a junk e-mail folder, but find no
settings in teh folder properties or anywhere else to make it a junk email
folder.

While I have pretty hard core spam filters, I usually caught the last few
every day in there so would like to have it back, Can anyone help with how
to create a junk meial folder? I am running OL07 on XP.

This is your answer: Outlook 2002 doesn't usually HAVE a "Junk E-mail"
folder. Are you using Exchange 2003 perhaps? If not, then your "Junk
E-mail" folder was added by whatever third-party antispam software you're
using and it's not an Outlook problem at all.

That may get Claire's issue Brian. Any ideas for me? I guess I should have
started a different thread as I am on a different setup, but the issue is the
same, ome idiot deleting the folder instead of the mail. In my case- I ahve
only the idiot in the mirror to blame.

I am running Outlook 07 on XP Tablet. No Exchange- just in POP3 mode. Is
there way to re-enable or set up a Junki Email folder?

Thanks

Outlook 2007 won't let you delete the Junk E-mail folder. The Delete item
on the context menu is inactive and so if the "X" delete button when Junk
E-mail is selected. Nor will pressing the Delete key do anything.

i use Neo Pro (www.emailorganizer.com) as a wrapper to OL mail. It may have
been deleted from NEO. But as I understand it, Neo uses outlook for any
folder managment. It reads in and indexes mail and folders, but any OL
commands are really NEO doing it in OL.

But however I managed it- the folder was gone. I created a new folder with
the same name, but it does not seem to gather junk mail and I see no
properties place to set it as a junk mail folder. Sounds like I have a
reinstall coming.

Have you tried starting Outlook with the /resetfolders command switch? How
about the /resetfoldernames switch?
