I've been using Outlook 2003 for years, but suddenly today every time
I try to move a message to a folder Outlook tries to set up an
appointment using the message.

If I say I don't want to save the appointment the message disappears
completely.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Sounds like the folder to which you're trying to move the message is a
calendar folder.  RIght-click the folder and choose Properties.  Examine the
"Type" field on the General tab.  What does it say?

Thanks for your reply.  I've been away, so sorry for the delay - the
problem just happened again though.  The type says 'Folder containing
Mail and Post Items'.

At the moment my workaround is to open the problem message in the
appointment screen, save a copy of the message to the correct folder
and then cancel out of the appointment screen saying I don't want to
save.

What I did notice is that when I do this something called Pocket
Mirror appears in my Folders list.

Any help much appreciated.

I'm at a loss, then, to explain the behavior.  Sorry.  Perhaps someone else
will have an idea.

I don't know what caused the problem, but I set up a new folder and
moved the contents of the old one there and so far the problem hasn't
happened since. Thanks for your replies.
