Hi Folks

I'm MAKING my debut here!

I use Microsoft outlook for my e.mails.

The following problem occured about two weeks ago. Previously everything worked OK.

When I go into outlook my inbox lists all messages in date order. If I open a message then return to inbox, everything is OK and the message I've just looked at is there in the list.

However, If I open a message and then forward it or REPLY to it, when I return to the inbox, the message has disappeared from the list and I can't find it.

I have created a folder of "kept stuff" and if I send the message there prior to opening it, I can forward or reply to it and when I return to the folder, it's still there.

So, what I want to ask is, how can I stop the messages disappearing from the inbox and how can I access the messages which have gone?

Any advice welcome, please note that I'm not very computer literate so please be gentle!

Regards Ray
