  Question
  I have permanently deleted the Unread folder in Outlook. It is located
directly under the Inbox folder and lets me know how many unread messages I
have. It is also italicized. I really like that function and would like to
know how can I get it back?

Right-click Search Folder and choose "New Search Folder". Click OK.

  Thanks B.

I chose the New Search Folder and it selects Unread by default. So I clicked
ok. But now I see that the Unread folder is in two places because I clicked
and dragged it to my favorites folder (which is where it was in the first
place) but now that has caused me to lose my follow up folder...What should I
do now?

Did you try creating a new one of those as well? Search folders aren't
really folders. They're just common searches that Outlook presents in a
folder style.

Fankly, I've never used "Favorites" (except for Public Folders Favorites).
I find it easy enough to keep my Folder List in view in the Navigation Pane
and find any folder I have. I don't know the Favorites behavior patterns.
However, my inclination is to think Outlook might not be closing even if you
think it is closed. The next time you close Outlook, start the Task Manager
(Ctrl-Shift-Esc) and look at the Processes tab. Do you see OUTLOOK.EXE
there?
