This just happen to me at work. I accidentally dragged a days worth of emails to my “Mailbox – “My Name”" and they all disappeared. Some were unread, so I saw them in unread messages under the IPM_SUBTREE. Good fix Jeff, I think this happened to a co-worker the other day and I can help him out.

Thanks, the alternate method worked for me as well; however, in Outlook 2007, the Advanced Find cannot be obtained by right clicking on your mailbox. You have to go to Tools -> Instant Search -> Advanced Find, or hit CTRL+SHIFT+F.

Thank you! In-depth explanation of a problem + such a great tool to explore all hidden parts of Outlook DB config. Jeff’s solution is much easier though. Thanks

I used the search category in Outlook 2003 to find these. Just create one to find E-mail received for the past week and it will find them.
