Absolutely nothing. The reading pane is blank when one of them is selected.
If I choose "message options" in the drop-down it reports "The message you
specified cannot be found."

What mail account type are you using?
The "Unread Mail" folder is a Search Folder. In which actual folder are they
supposed to be?

I can not find them in any other folder.
I have a folder called "Unknown" where they would (should) have been placed
initially from Inbox. They are not in that folder or any other folder that
I can find.

In your Search Folder choose View-> Arrange By-> Folder
This will end the guessing game and tell the right folder to look in.
Otherwise; do the items reappear when you recreate the Search Folder?

They are listed there as being in folder "Unknown".
If I go to folder "Unknown" there are no files listed.
(No I am not making this up.)

Also checked your pst-file for errors with scanpst.exe?

I deleted the Unread Folder from Search and created a new one. The bogus
files no longer appear.
Thanks for the help.
