That means that either 1) the missing folder is at the top level of your
local folders "On My Computer" - i.e. you should see it in its alphabetic
location below the special folders in the "On My Computer" list, or 2) it
has somehow found its way into a (new?) folder with no name, or 3) some sort
of unknown limbo.
1) You have not told us whether your messages are generally in local folders
or in IMAP folders. If you have your account set up as IMAP, it's possible
that you never look inside "Folders on My Computer". If that's the case,
open it now (click the triangle) and look. Probably not the case.
2) Take a very good look to check that there's no disclosure triangle next
to a blank space. That could be a folder with no name. (In this case the
result of Barry's script would have started with a "/" character., before
the missing folder's name. Did it? You were quite coy in not telling us
_exactly_ what the result of the script was: anything can be a clue if
transmitted precisely.)
3) If neither 1) or 2) is the case, first do one more test: Select the same
message and run this script fro Script Editor:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theMessage to item 1 of (get current messages)
set theItem to storage of theMessage
set displayed feature of main window to theItem
activate
end tell
That ought to show the message in its own folder list, with the folder,
wherever it is, highlighted in the Folders List at the left. If not, tell us
what happens. And whatever that is, you will likely have to rebuild your
database, then try again.
