Default Outlook 2007 Hidden Folders?

You still have much to learn. You still never figured out what Folder List
view is, did you? Read all my posts again. Had you actually been using
Folder List view you would have seen all your folders immediately. There you
could add them to the "My Contacts" section of the Contacts view if they
weren't appearing there.
How much you have to reconfigure your views depends on how you migrated your
data. None of this changed in Outlook 2007.

OK WOW just figured it out! I had to re-add them to the navigation pane.
FILE - NEW - NAVIGATION PANE SHORTCUT - Then all my folders were listed
and I
could add them! So it did not automatically bring them over and you have
to
re-add them to your folder list view......that could drive some new users
insane when they migrate, especially if they have numerous sub folders in
Contacts, Calendar, etc. Thanks for the help....just glad I figured it
out.

If Outlook says the folder is there, it probably is.
Do you know what Folder List view is? How did you invoke it? Did you use
the
icon at the bottom of the NAV pane?

Hi Russ, short of a screen shot I do not know how you want me to
"convince
you" Yes I did back up my data, and the folders are there, as evident
below
when I try to add the folder back with the same name, Outlook tells me
it
already exists and yet the folder is not visible in my folder list
view.
I
do have a folder list view, as I can see all my folders in
e-mail....The
Navagitaion pane is on, the to do bar, the reading pane, they are all
there,
these folders have just gone hidden.......do you have any other ideas??

Convince me you are using Folder List view.
You did back up your data before installing a beta didn't you?

Thanks Russ, actually the issue is that my Contact Subfolder has
disappeared.
I can not even find it, or see it. But when I go to add that
folder,
it
says it already exists, but I do not konw how to see it.

This also happened with my Tasks sub folder. I had an additional
task
folder labeled COMPLETED. It is also not appearing in the MY TASKS
area,
but
when I try to re-create a new task folder called COMPLETED it tells
me
it
already exisits, and yet like the contact folder, it is not visible
and
I
can
not seem to get it back.

Sounds normal to me.
You use Folder List to see all your Folders. If you want to add a
Contact
subfolder one to your My Contacts view, R click it and select "Add
to
My
Contact"
That's the way current versions work.

When I upgraded to Outlook 2007 Beta it appears to have hidden
some
of
my
folders. i.e. I can see my main Contacts folder and all my
contacts
are
there. However, I have a second folder called Wedding, it had my
wedding
contacts in it. It is not listed under "My Contacts" but when I
try
to
create a new folder called Wedding, (So I can re-import them back
in)
Outlook
2007 tells me the folder already exists. Any ideas, or is this a
bug
in
Outlook 2007?
