What happens to mails dragged to the Outlook Today Folder?

It could happen real easy; a wrong Move To Folder… command or a misplaced Drag & Drop and suddenly the items end up in the Outlook Today folder. So how can you still retrieve them as when clicked on Outlook Today the Outlook Today page will show up?

Actually the Outlook Today folder is a mail folder just like the Inbox. The only thing is that this folder has an Home Page; Outlook Today. You can disable this Home Page so you can use the folder as a mail folder.

1. Right click Outlook Today and choose Properties
2. Click on the tab Home Page
3. Deselect the option: Show home page by default for this folder
4. Click on OK

When you know click on Outlook Today you’ll see your mail items.

Select the option again to display Outlook Today again. If the Address field is left empty press the Restore Default… button to fill in the address again.
