Hi:

I inadvertently deleted a sub folder which had previously been created to
Inbox. I was in the process of creating the same folder name and put it
under Personal Folders instead of Inbox when I deleted both the new folder
and old sub folder,

How can I recover the deleted old sub folder to Inbox? The more specifics
the better.

Thanks so much!

Its not in your deleted Folder?
You have a backup?

Open Deleted Items, locate the deleted folder, click and drag it back to
Inbox.

The Inbox sub folder that was deleted was not in the Deleted Items folder,
as that is of course the first place that I looked. I wish that it were so
simple.

Afterwards I purposely deleted other named folders and none appeared in
the Deleted Items folder when deleted. The ones that I purposely deleted
asked if I wanted to delete them etc. The other sub folder that I
inadvertently deleted never did ask for deletion confirmation. None ever
appeared in the Deleted Items folder after deletion.

Thanks

Does your Deleted Items folder have a + sign beside it? Click on it to expand
it. Folders don't go into the Deleted Items folder, they become subfolders of
the Deleted Items folder. If you haven't emptied your Deleted Items folder
then they should still be there.

If you connect to an Exchange server and your Exchange Admin has enabled DIR
(Deleted Item Retention), you can recover the items depending on how long DIR
is set for. I think the default is 7 days, if I remember correctly. Open your
Deleted Items folder. Click on Tools > Recover Deleted Items. A list of
everything you've deleted that has not been removed from the server will be
there.

If you use a PST, then read the following:

Good luck!

BTW I tried the following procedures that I found online for MS Outlook
2003 and followed the Registry procedures exactly, but never could get the
"Recover Deleted Items" to appear under the Tools...

This option is only available if you are connecting to a Microsoft Exchange
Server mailbox. Otherwise, this feature is not available for POP3 or IMAP
accounts.

Thanks! This sorta makes sense when you think about it.
