    Suddenly one of my MS Outlook 2002 folders appears to be empty yet it reports more than 100 files contained in the folder. All of the email stored there just disappeared from view. If unread email is dropped in the folder there is an increment change and an indication that unread mail is present. However, nothing is visible. None of the mail in this folder has been deleted...it just fails to display.

    Filtering is off. All other folders display contents correctly. This is on an Exchange Server system.

    One other hint...When the folder is highlighted I can choose "select all" from the pull down which indicates something is in there. Empty folders do not display "select all" when they are truly empty. I have attempted to copy to a new folder but unable to do so.

    If this folder is corrupted in some way, is there a way to repair it?

    Sounds like something the Exchange Server admin needs to take a look at. It it's just a single folder then yes, I think the folder is probably damaged.
