Tasks folder accidentally deleted

[Guest]

Background - I have Outlook 2003 11.8010.6568 SP2. We use Novell Groupwise
7.0 as our email here, but I also like to use outlook for some additional
features it provides.
In the folder list view on the left side of the screen, I had two tasks
folders displaying. One had tasks in it as expected (matching tasks in
Groupwise). Second folder had no tasks. Thought I could safely delete it,
so when it asked did I want to delete, I said yes. Wrong....Now I have no
tasks folder in the folder list at all. If I try to click on the navigation
pane buttons (at the bottom of the folder list) for tasks, outlook errors out.
The tasks folder is NOT in the deleted items folder. I also looked at
options and I do NOT have the button to empty deleted items folder upon
exiting checked.
Can someone help me with this?

Have you tried the reset folder switch?

Judy -
I don't have my computer with me right now (I'm at home), but I'm not
familiar with the reset folder switch. Can you tell me how to access when I
get to the office, or is it obvious?
Thanks!
June

BTW - that took me 3 secs to find with "Outlook reset folders switch" as my
search criteria.

Thank you so much and sorry to have cost you 3 seconds. Took more than that
for you to make the snide reply.

Hi June. Sorry you took it as snide. It wasn't meant that way. I get a bit
abrupt when there are sooooo many questions and sooo little time (I have a
real job as well).

This community is a free service that aims to help people like you. One of
the best ways to help you is to teach you what we know. That includes our

stuff - so I told you the way I used to find the information.
