Have you ever deleted a folder but want it back later while using MS Outlook? A colleague asked my help to recover her accidentally deleted "Unread" folder. The recovery strategy is straight forward, but extremely helpful for some other case like filtering and trashing.
I will take the "Unread" folder as an example to show how to recover/create folders in MS Outlook.
1. Right click "Inbox" folder (aka the parent folder that your new folder will belong to)
2. Go to Advanced Find..
3. Go to More Choice tab
4. Select Only items that are: then Unread in the menu to its right side.
5. Point to File | Save Search As Search Folder...
6. Name the new folder and click OK to finish

Congratulations! The unread folder just been recreated! It will be shown on the folder list.
You may also find this method useful for other tasks, like filtering letters with specific words, date or something else. Try it yourself!
