Even though you said to ignore in your subsequent message I thought it might help (if not you, then somebody else! ;) ) to have a possible answer offered up: It could be that your view was set only to show unread messages. If you go to the view button on the main menu bar, and click current view, if it is showing up as "unread messages only" or one of the other obvious filters, your explanation is there. HTH - somebody! Anne -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Carneal Sent: 17 May 2005 06:53 To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Outlook 2000 Folder apparently empty? Highlighting my "Items to sort" folder, I see at the bottom I have 997 items in the folder. But nothing shows. Even though it says 997 items, in another place, it says "Filtered Applied" and "There are no items to show." There *should* be something there as I put some there Sunday. How do I make them visible again so I can sort them? I very much hope I have not lost it.
