Accidentally deleted Unread Mail folder

[Ghazi Azzabi]

I accidentally delted the unread Mail forlder.

Since then, all messages once read go to the deleted messages folder.

I am unable to recover the unread mail folder and unable to route message
once read to a box other then the deleted messages folder

I need serious help

Tks

I accidentally delted the unread Mail forlder.

So, create it again. Unread Mail is not a real folder. It is a search
context that looks for all the unread mail in your OTHER, real folders.
Right-click "Search Folders" and choose "New Search Folder". The Unread
Mail folder will be the default folder created.

Since then, all messages once read go to the deleted messages folder.

Totally unrelated. If the messages were unread an in the Deleted Items
folder, the Unread Mail folder will show them to you, but they'll STILL be
in the Deleted Items folder.

You have something like an antivirus program, an antispam program, or a
mail-scanning firewall that is cauing your problem. It is completely
unrelated to the existence of the Unread Mail folder.

You don't mention what version of Outlook you're using.

Open Outlook using the /resetfolders switch:

Start > Run > outlook.exe /resetfolders

This switch should restore your default folders.

Or the OP could just recreate the Unread Mail folder, Right click on the Search folders folder and recreate it.
