Inbox stuck under deleted items folders.

I'm not sure how this could've happened, but an Outlook 2003 user managed to
get their inbox located as a sub-folder of the deleted items folder.

I can't move it or delete it.

I've tried deleting and crecreating his profile, but the folder mixup is
obviously on the Exchange server since the problem wasn't resovled.

Command line switches didn't work either..

/resetfolders
/cleanviews
/cleanprofile

Create a backup of the folder and see if you can delete it. After that rerun
the /resetfolders command.

I tried that already after i made a copy of the Inbox in the correct
location. It won't delete. All new mail is still being delivered to the
one under the deleted items folder.

No, the original so the Inbox won't be under Deleted Items anymore.

IIRC you can use an IMAP connection to the mailbox to move the folder as
well.

If I Recall Correctly. Meaning I've deliberately messed up the folder list
before but haven't verified all the ins and outs, requirements, drawbacks
etc... before posting ;-)
