Folders in Outlook Express Disappearing

A year ago I set up sub folders under "Local Folders" in Windows Mail.
Everytime I opened my email the sub folders would be displayed under "Local
Folders." Now the only folder displayed is "Local Folders." However, when I
double click on "Local Folders" a box opens to the right which reflects all
the sub folders in the "Local Folders" and my emails are there. When I
double click on a sub folder, it then shows up in the left hand box under
"Local Folders." When I close Windows Mail and open again, the sub folders
once again are not displayed. I have to go through the process again of
clicking on each folder to display it under "Local Folders." Has anyone
experienced this problem and found a solution to resolving?

Make sure that the Folder list is enabled under View | Layout. Then go to
Tools | Options and check the box to automatically display folders with
unread messages. See if that helps.
