Problems with the Unread folder

[DC27]

I get an error message when I use the search folders 'Folders' -
specifically when I select "Unread Mail".

The error message I get is "The Operation Failed. An object could not
be found".

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I've got numerous unread mail
and I’m using Office 07.

Any help appreciated

This is a shot in the dark but have you tried to reset your Search Folders
using the /cleanfinders command line switch as detailed here:

Just for fun-zeez, you could try this:

Right click the "Unread Mail" folder, select "Customize this Search
Folder...", and then select the "Browse..." button.

What folder(s) is/are selected here? We could try checking an individual
folder under "Mailbox - XXXXXXXX", OK | OK, and then see if it kicks back
the same error. Repeat for each additional folder.

My goal here is to see if maybe only specific folders kick this error back.
I saw this happen once on an RSS Feeds folder.

Thanks - that sorted it. Wasn't aware that you had to customize it!
D'oh and thanks in equal measure
