Error message when clicking on "Unread Mail"

Post by jmt356 »

I have set up a Pop3 account in Outlook. When The Unread Mail folder is grayed out and when I click on it, I get the error message "The operation failed. An object could not be found." However, I have 56 unread items. How can I display them when I click on Unread Mail?
Regards,

JMT

Try this first:

- Quit Outlook.
- Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
- Type

outlook.exe /resetfolders

- Press Enter or click OK.

If that does not solve the problem, create a new e-mail profile. See Adding/Recreating a Mail Profile, Create a New Outlook Profile and/or How to create and configure an email profile in Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2003.
Best wishes,
Hans
