In cleaning up my inbox the balance vanished. Can I recover it? If so how?
Outlook 2000
 
restore from backup?

Let's check if it's actually gone though.

Turn on the Advanced toolbar and take a look at the Current View Window -
what View are you looking at? Make sure you're on Messages. Rather than
Unread message or Last 7 days.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Thanks for trying. I am on messages with autopreview so that should be OK
I had been told to search my computer for inbox.pst but that did not help
either unless I am searching in the wrong place. Any other ideas?
 
I am not sure my earlier reply went through so here it is again.

so far
 
it's unlikely you will have a file called Inbox.pst - so disregard whoever
that was!

You can Search your system for *.pst BUT make sure to use Advanced Search
and Include Hidden Folders. You can "find" a lost .pst file this way. You
will probably find Outlook.pst.

If you Google about Outlook.pst you can find a lot of information.


I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

You must enable viewing hidden files and folders in order to find the PST.
