unable to display folder. How do I correct

[Drafty]

Every other folder displays properly except the draft folder. My operating
system is Windows 98 (for a very good reason) and I use Office 2000.

Are you clicking the Drafts folder in the Folder List or on the Outlook Bar
(where the shortcuts are)?

Hi

That was quick.

I get the same whether I click on the Folder list or on the Outlook Bar. I
have deleted the shortcut and cannot resore it by right click on the Folder
List.

Try starting Outlook once with the /ResetFolders switch. If you need help
using Outlook command line switches, look here:

Hi

Tried that but no joy. By the way I also rand find and repair but no joy.

Then try a new mail profile - Control Panel->Mail Icon->Profiles-New.
Configure it to use your old .pst file.

Hi

That does not appear to be an option I can follow in Windows98/Office 2000

Creating a new mail profile with Outlook 2000 in Internet Mail Only mode is
problematic and requires editing the Windows registry.

 

[Drafty]

Never happy playing with the registry but would do with guidannce.
Interested in other ideas please.

I also find that using the reply button means that word is not my email
editor. Now I am confused
