Hidden "Deleted Items" Folder

[Chris_of_Texas]

Somehow, my "Deleted Items" folder in Outlook has either been hidden. I know
it still exists; I just cannot find it.

The folder is not listed in the Folder List view.

I have taken the time to expand all of my folders. It is nowhere to be seen.

I have also restarted Outlook after a fresh reboot of the computer. No
success.

I have used the resetfolders switch - no change.

I know the folder is somewhere because I opened the "Web" toolbar in Outlook
and typed in the address bar [OUTLOOK: DELETED ITEMS] and it opened the
Deleted Items folder and I was able to see all of my deleted emails and other
items.

This, of course, opened my Deleted Items folder - but I still cannot see
where it is. Is there a way to find out the address of this folder so i can
maybe navigate to
it?

Because i already have the folder, (1) I cannot create a new folder named
"Deleted Items" - window replied that I already had a folder named by that
name, (2) I can go to TOOLS and then "Empty Deleted Items Folder".

Does anyone know how to find this folder? Any way to create a shortcut to it
so I don't have to navigate to it via the Web Toolbar?

if you see the folder when you type outlookeleted Items then it is right
where it belongs.

What version of Outlook? Have you tried the /resetnavpane switch? Scanpst?

Outlook 2007. I have not tried the switches you mentioned. I'll try them -
but will these cause any complications or reset other important settings?

Try starting Outlook once with the /resetfolders command switch.

scanpst won't mess anything up - but just ot be safe, make a copy of the pst
before running it. /resetnavpane will create a new navigation pane file -
if you added any folders to Mail Favorites etc you'll need to redo it.

I am having the same issue with an exchange account for Junk and Sent Items.
I have tried both swithces, still nothing updated in the mail items, but can
see outlook: sent items as before. Any way to add shortcuts or get these
folder back in the list?

The next switch I'd try is /resetfolders.

Yep tried that one too. Is there a registry entry or other hidden setting
that is hiding these folders?
