OUTLOOK: new messages go to UNREAD instead of INBOX

Outlook 2003 suddenly changes on me: instead of sending all new mail to Inbox
- as it was set up, suddenly all new mail is sent to a UNREAD MAIL, a Search
Folders under Personal Folders. Very inconvenient.
i would like all my mail to go to Inbox! i did not do the change (at least
not coherently). Also, there is old unread mail in the Inbox, so I suspect it
is some command change I am not aware of.
Please help me reverse it ASAP!

The Unread folder isn't a 'real' folder. It just shows items that exist in
other folders that are in an unread state. The items should probably be in
your Inbox or other folder in your Personal Folder file.

In addition to what Vince says, the Unread Mail folder will eve TELL you
what real folder the messages are in.
