New Inbox?

[Trevor]

Outlook seems to have suddenly created a new inbox in a folder called
archive and started putting my new mail in that rather than in the inbox in
my personal folder. How do I switch it back?

Outlook version?

sorry, yes , Outlook 2000.

I have on the left a folder called archive folder with
calendar,contacts,deleted items, drafts,inbox (where all my mails are
disappearing to), journal, norton antispam folder, notes,outbox,sent
items,and tasks then personal folders with inbox sent etc and a lot of
personal categories that I have created as well as another set as in the
archive folder.

Before this happened outlook opened with an error message about did I want
to create a file. Can't remember the message exactly or what I did.

I'm guessing Internet Mail Only mode, but Help>About will say for sure.

the archive folder.

Click on "Personal Folders" and then click File>Properties. There should be
an opton available that says something similar to "Delivery new mail here".
Select that option. Stop and restart Outlook.
