Somehow a rule got set up on my Outlook 2000 to move all my new EMAIL to the calendar folder

Not sure how the rule got there (possibly when I synchronised it with my sony ericson phone or maybe when I used the webmail)

We have now deleted the rule but I still have 8 messages sitting in my calendar folder with no way of reading them or even seeing if they are there. The only way I know they are there is because the folder list shows 8 new entries in the calendar but i have no way of selecting or viewing the messages

Using a corporate microsoft exchange server. Any ideas?Hmmm, I never knew a rule could send an email to Calendar.  Anyway, I don't know if this will work but I suggest you try dragging the messages in your calendar to the Inbox.  Does that work?I don't think an Outlook calendar folder can contain email objects.  You probably see the 8 new entries because it synchronized 8 new appointments from your phone.

Try this:
From your Calendar view in the main Outlook SCREEN, choose menu View -> Current View -> Category
This should show all of your calendar items in a list.  From here you should be able to [Ctrl]-A to select them all, then [Ctrl]-Q to mark them all as read.  Make sure your "new items" number is gone, then put your view back the way you like it.
Thank you gary! I can now see and move all my emails out of the calendar and into my inbox! cheersWhat part of Gary's procedure moved them back to Inbox?  I don't see anything there that WOULD execute a move.i did the view calendar "by category" option and then I could see the emails that had been sent there and drag them back to my inboxOk, so you dragged them back to the Inbox, as I suggested in my first reply?  And, Gary's suggestion made it easier by basically making them more visible.  Right?YES, that is correct... thank you too soybean!
