Disappearing “Unread Mail” folder in Microsoft Outlook 2007
When using Microsoft Outlook 2007 you may find your “unread mail” folder mysteriously disappears from time to time – fortunately there is a quick way to get it back.
In the Mail Folders list, navigate to the Search Folders option under your Mailbox
Right-click the search folders and select New Search Folder. Under “Select a Search Folder”, the option “Unread mail” should be highlighted in the category “Reading Mail”. Click OK.
This will create a search folder for unread mail – now simply right click on this folder and select “Add To Favorite Folders” – the Unread Mail folder should now reappear under Favorite Folders.

A closely rleated problem (running MS Office Small Business, Outlook 2007 with Windows 7):
I deleted the Business function that came standard with Outlook software. When I logged off and back on, my Favourite Folders list was gone, and so was the reading pane in my Inbox (I happen to like the reading pane on the right-hand side). The Favourite Folders list seems to look after itself: a few days later, afer I had used Outlook a fair bit, the Favourite Folders list was back, good as new! And, it is easy to get the reading pane back, temporarily, (View > Reading Pane > Right) but when I log out and log back in, it is always gone again! (Note: the reading pane for Sent Items remains the way I set it up – on the right, no matter what!). How do I get the reading pane to stay put in my Inbox?
