Are these all user created folders? If you are in the Inbox and click on one
of these folders, what exactly happens? Do you remain in the Inbox?

see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 for recoverying lost messages.

You can try going to File | Identities and set up a new Identity and then,
if that works okay, then go to File | Import Messages and get the messages
from the older Identity.
