Outlook - Hidden Folder !?



Last week a Outlook problem come up. A misterious folder disappear!!! No one could find it, but when we tried to create a new one, with the same name, a error message was received saying that folder already exist.

Googling about the problem, i come up with a excelent tool to solve Outlook/Exchange related problems.

MFCMAPI

So how to use it to resolve this problem?

Just run it, in Session Menu press logon and then choose the right Outlook Profile.

Choose the desired MAPI Store, search for the IPM_SUBTREE and expand it.
Then you will see all availabel folders, including the hidden one!!




Select the hidden folder, and search for a Property with the name PR_ATTR_HIDDEN.

Desactivate the checkbox Boolean and voilá, the folder is visible again.
