How can I restore an accidentally deleted unread mail folder ?

Definitely a novice...I accidentally deleted my unread mail folder from my
mailbox instead of just deleting 1 unread email. Ive been trying to figure
it out myself...but anything I read about how-to doesn't seem to cover my
exact blunder. I will be forever grateful for some help !!!!

You can recreate the search folder if you deleted it by creating a new
search folder. Did you actually delete the folder or remove it from your
Favorite Folders?

Right-click Search Folders and choose "New Search Folder". "Unread Mail"
will be the default folder created. All you need to click is "OK".

I'm glad you're happy. The Unread Mail folder is not a real folder, so it
you had 20 unread messages in any folder of your delivery location,
recreating the Unread Mail folder would show them again.
