Yeah...I know.  Oh well.  This is what I figured.  But, thanks so much for
your efforts, Dian.  You're the best, my friend.

Picture this scenario....I'm heading out of town for two weeks, so I make a
folder in Outlook to hold all the stuff I want to deal with on my return.  I
name this folder "Pending"....I then create two subfolders....one named
"Urgent" and one name "Whenever"....then last nite in a fatigued fog, I take
one last look inside the Urgent folder BEFORE I do my normal pst
backup....and I notice there's one email in there that I already took care
of.  So, I click on that one email and am ready to hit shift+delete, but for
some weirdo reason, I then clicked on the Urgent folder in my Folder
List....so, now the email is still selected but the FOCUS is on the Urgent
folder....so when I hit shift/delete, and of course confirm it (LOL), I'm
sitting here watching the little files flying box and realize what I've
done....but it's too late

Imagine...of all the folders to lose, I lose one called "Urgent"....could
things be any worse?

Of course they could...it's only email...I will live....and hopefully, the
people who sent me the email will understand that I'm human and just reply
to my request for them to send it again.

Happy holidays gang....I'm shutting down Outlook now and gonna forget about
this one.  You mice be good while this cat is away, ya here?

>>I'll check in a few to see if anyone has replied. But it's late...so
I'd suggest you leave it open until tomorrow when I might get more hits
on my Q.

I just checked back and there are NO replies. That generally means that
no one knows anything other than the fact that it cannot be retrieved
and they're holding back waiting for someone who knows different to
reply. So it's not looking good. Sorry!
