Neo,

Boiling your advice down to its basic point, you told me to forget about
*moving* the Inbox. Instead, create a new one, then copy my old mail into
it.

So I created a new Inbox where I want it. Then I used Tools, Account
Settings, Change Folder to set up the new Inbox as my real Inbox. I sent a
test email to myself to make sure it worked. I copied messages from my old
Inbox to the new one. Then I deleted the old one.

Thanks for setting me on the right path!

Charley

I would create a new PST and set that as your default delivery location.
Once that is done (and you restart Outlook), you should be able to move the
folder from out of lost and found. Once done, you can reset the default
delivery location back to the old PST and ditch the new one.

I had to run scanpst.exe to restore a damaged pst file. After I did so
my Inbox was named "Recovered Folder 8082" and placed in Lost
and Found.

To rename the folder back to Inbox, I used /resetfoldernames. However,
Outlook doesn't let me move the Inbox out of the Lost and Found folder.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Charley
