Upgraded to 4.5 - mysterious folder appeared

[moniker]

I just upgraded from 4.0.5 NE to 4.5.0 NE on RHEL4. I now have what appears to be an email folder named 'Tasks - renamed (5267:1169517045)'

What is this folder? I cannot delete it, and when I click on it the focus just shifts away from it.

I read somewhere on the forums that if you had an old Tasks folder this was renamed to make room for the new Tasks feature to be released at a later date. As for deleting it, no idea. Someone did say in the thread that deleting it should be fine, but since you can't....no idea. Hope this was helpful...

Thanks for the info. I guess I wouldn't be too concerned about it except for the fact that it causes a horizontal scroll bar to appear in my folders area and I find that rather annoying.

Weird. I logged out, logged back in, and now I can delete it.

We've just upgarded to 4.5NE, and I've experience something similar & more with my own mailbox:

1) delete newly/automatically renamed tasks folder
2) sync w/ZCO 4.5
3) find several new tags corresponding to my tasks categories in outlook
--this seems normal & desireable thus far based on 4.5 feature list--
4) can'nt find any task folder at all; clicking on one of the task category tags results: nothing found
5) attempt to create (on a wild guess) new folder called "Tasks"
6) receive error message "Tasks folder already exists" ?!?!

If anyone knows of where the new Tasks function is documented, please tell me; I've looked & thus far suppose I'm too obtuse to find it.

any enlightenment appreciated: we're really, really looking forward to give the tasks a thorogh trial

If you select the 'Folder List' icon in outlook do you see the tasks folder?

Thanks for the descriptive graphic: by that, I'm assuming you mean other than the Outlook-created tasks folder.

No, only the Outlook-created tasks folder (shown as a task icon).
