Outlook Inbox Renamed

[VCM]

I am running Outlook 2000 on a Win 2K Pro machine, with
POP3 services only (no Exchange Server or MAPI). My inbox
name just changed to the name of a recurring meeting that
I cancelled. I found notes on the bug in the MS Knowledge
Base. Howerver, the only notes on how to resolve it point
to exchng32.exe which I don't have, or downloading Office
SR 1a, which I downloaded with no results. Any ideas?
Thanks,
VCM

I am running Outlook 2000 on a Win 2K Pro machine, with

POP3 services only (no Exchange Server or MAPI). My inbox
name just changed to the name of a recurring meeting that
I cancelled.

If this happened to me, I'd simply add a new Personal Folders service to my
Outlook, change delivery to use the new file, and restart Outlook. I'd then
simply drag-and-drop stuff from the old pst file to the proper folders in
the new one, remove the old Personal Folders service, and delete the file.

Easier than that and you wouldn't have to lose all your
customizations. Just run the following macro from the Outlook VBA
window. Use Alt+F11 to open the window. Use Insert, Module in the VBA
menu. Enter the following code, click in the code and press F5 to run
the macro and rename the Inbox back again:

Sub InboxRename()
Dim oFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Set oFolder = Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
oFolder.Name = "Inbox"
Set oFolder = Nothing
End Sub

That's all you need to do.
