Outlook finds inbox only when I first open it

[dgillz]

I just upgraded to Office XP adn I am having a tough time with outlook.

When I first open Outlook XP, I am in my inbox and I can see my messages. If I click off of inbox, it cannot find my sent items, my contacts, nothing. Even if I go back to the inbox, it cannt find it either. I am getitng a message:

"Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Outlook could not access the specified folder location. The folder no longer exists".

If I close outlook and come back to it, I see the inbox, but if I leave the inbox I experience the same behavior. I am able to send and receive messages, and if I send a message I can pick a contatc from the "TO" button, so I know the data is here somewhere.

Any help appreciated.

Try going to VIEW on the toolbar and select folder list..then expand whatever comes up might be Archive with a little +.

Perhaps Q814556 is what you're looking for, although it doesn't quite seem to match up with what you're seeing. Might be worth a go.

What kind of mail setup do you have? Is the mail on an exchange server or are you just downloading mail to a local PST file from an ISP?
