SQL 2000

Outlook 2010 deleted items

I had stange issue when Deleted Items were not shown. If you even place any unread item there and number of Unread Items will be idicated in the Folder tree, still no items in the list. In my case, the effect dissapeared when I recovered one item and then all items in the Deleted list became visible again. I do not use Cache mode, it is online with Exchange 2010.
