I would try repairing your office installation. If repair does not work, delete and re-create the profile. If that does not work uninstall and reinstall Office. Is this a pop3 or MAPI connection?

Thanks for your thought, but the Sent emails are not being archived, and they’re not going into the Deleted folder either; they are simply disappearing after about 5 minutes.

Is this computer in a business with Exchange? The Archive settings can be disabled with Group Policy. This would disable the use of .pst files.

thank you. yes, I did. the auto archive setting does not appear to be the problem. In fact, not all of the settings seem to work. This seems to be a malfunction.

I don’t seen a Only Show Unread option.
I think I found the problem but don’t know how to fix it — there’s no datafile associated with my IMAP email account. I’m using Outlook Connector for Hotmail. How can I set up a datafile?

Do you have Only Show unread mail ticked?

No, it’s not a rule. No rules have been set up.

It could be a rule.

Have you verified that no rule is causing it ?
