We have a few users in our office whose Default Outlook Inbox Folder is now showing as a sub-folder of another folder and we cannot move it back. The message we get is "special folders cannot be moved". We use Exchange Server 2000/Outlook 2000. Does anyone know how to move this folder back?

Hmmm....I wonder how your user moved it in the first place? As you see, special folders normally can't be moved in Outlook.

You can get around this by logging into the mailbox using the Exchange (not Outlook) client. The old Exchange client isn'taware of special folders and will allow you to rename, move etc.. If you need more detail, take a look at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q198469 XCLN: How to Rename the Inbox in Outlook (Q198469)
