ME, in part:
Today when I connected and opened Outlook two additional folders appeared:
 
* Unread Mail
* For follow up
 
They appeared somewhat *faded* and the text for the name of the folder was
*Italic* but when I clicked on Unread Mail, all messages I haven't read went
there {I am guessing} :o( , it no longer appeared *faded* and the text for
the name of the folder was not *Italic*.

LINDA:
What you are seeing are Outlook 2003's "Search folders"....they are simply
saved Searches...when you open them, they do a Search to show you all your
Unread mail or Mail marked for follow up.  They don't actually move any mail
into them, they are just Searches to show you that mail, but the mail is
still in it's original folder....If you right click on that Unread Mail
folder and choose "Delete Unread Mail", you will see you get a box that says
"Are you sure you want to delete the Unread Mail folder? This will not
actually delete the mail"....Deleting this folder simply deletes it from
your Folder List, but does not delete the mail, which is not really in this
folder, but still in it's original location.

Hope that's clear.  The Search folders are actually pretty handy.  You can
make all kinds of search folders that you can use to instantly see all the
mail you have that meets certain criteria, without having to go into every
folder you have.

 Yes that helps to clear it up, though I am still puzzled how these two
folders got there.

:o) I did do some exploring and discovered how to create *search folders*.

Thanks loads
