My laptop crashed yesterday, Outlook was open and when I reopened it later on, I discovered that all my "Read" emails (2000+) were not showing up. I looked at the Filters Option, and tried to filter for Read emails, but none showed up. I filtered for unread emails and the ones that are unread do show up. However, now my Inbox shows (2136) next to it, meaning that I have 2136 emails in my Inbox (supposedly unread). but only about 40 are currently unread - the remainder are all the "read" emails that are now invisible for some reason. And, as I said above, only the Unread emails show up.
Thanks for your help.
