new mail goes into deleted items folder

Do you have junk mail turned on? If so, try turning it off. If that does not work, set a rule to automatically move the message to another folder.

delete and recreate your outlook profile.

Create a new rule and add your friends email to move it to the inbox folder.

If you are using Outlook, go to Tools, Rules wizard and check to see that there are no rules set up in there for the sender's e-mails. If there is a rule set up, rather than create another rule, delete the one that affects his messages as differentrules for the same criteria can cause strange and unpredictable results. Check the other rules that may or may not be there. If you did not create any rules, make sure that you don't leave your PC logged in as you when you're not there and change your password ASAP to a strong password just in case. You may want to see that deleted items are NOT deleted automatically when you close Outlook or that you are prompted before permanently deleting items in case this happens again.
