Thanks very much indeed for replying Mittu,
Unfortunately this does not seem to help.
Yes, there is a plus sign and the mails come and go from Outlook Today.

The original "Personal Folders" with the old e-mails are still present. We
want mail to come and go from these Folders. NOT Outlook Today.
Your suggestions................
"Tools" offers "Accounts" then "Mail" "POP3btconnect" with
"properties"/Add/Remove" (The options as you describe don't exist)

HOWEVER.........
If I right click The old "Personal Folders icon" then "Properties" There is
a check-box for "Deliver POP mail to this Personal Folders File"
I check it, click, apply, OK, exit and re-enter Outlook and it has reverted.
In fact as soon as I close the Properties box the check box unticks.
BECAUSE? The same properties box in the "Outlook Today" Personal Folders IS
CHECKED, GREYED-OUT & INACTIVE. It cannot be UN-checked as the delivery box.

How can I UN-check it please

Many, many Thanks

Hi,

First of all, do we have a 'plus' sign next to "Outlook Today". Try clicking
on it (if you have one) and check if your mails are present in the folders
below.
Outlook Today is a front end for Outlook where-in you have the different
sub-folders for Calendar, Inbox, sent items and so on.

Now, apart from the 'Outlook Today-Personal Folder', if you have anymore
Personal Folders in the Folder list which actually contains your old email
files, peform the steps below -

Tools -- Email Accounts -- View or change email accounts -- next -- and
select the concerned 'Personal Folders' from the field 'Deliver new emails to
the following location'.
Once selected, click Finish and close and restart Outlook.
Now, check if the 'Outlook Today-Personal Folder' has all your emails.

Rgds,
Mittu

HELP PLEASE ANYONE!
When Outlook froze it offered to save work by directing mail to a new folder
"Outlook Today".
It has a duplicate set of personal folders but addresses are still in the
old personal folders.
I have tried the recommended way of turning this off; properties/uncheck
"show home page by default for this folder". It is unchecked but mail still
goes to Outlook-today!

If I select properties/close folders....I get a message that I cannot close
a folder that contains personal folders/contacts and POP3 mailbox.

How can I get back to the mail going to the ordinary inbox and get rid of
Outlook Today.
A step-by-step explanation would help (semi-technical level of competence)

Thanks
