Strange thinmgs happening with folders

I hace a folder called X and I moved 4 emails to X - however they don't show up in X. When I first did this it gave me two X's to choose from thereafter only one. When I do a search for the emails in all folders it finds it. How can I get the missing X into my folder list?

do they all appear when you refresh (F5) the folder?

No. Is there a 'magic' F button or contol x that makes my address book disappear. Everytime I have to reinstall Outlook I have a battle of several weeks to get contacts back - are they suppose to appear in the folders list as well as at the bottom left where it says Mail calandar Contacts Tasks?

sorry, i haven't used outlook for a long time.

it's probably a good idea to make a new thread in the 'browsers and mail' forum for this contacts problem.
