Hi. Last night when I was using my Outlook mail it suddenly created two new files, e.g. OwaFV15.1ALLFocused etc. It then seemed to put my last few months emails into these folders (one being the replacement for 'focused' and the other one for 'other'. Looking online I can see a brief question/discussion about this in the last few hours so I assume this is a new problem. How do I stop this happening, and why did it happen? Is it sinister? Any help gratefully received, thank you!

Thanks for your help, and it's good to know I'm not alone!! It appears to be a Microsoft screw-up so maybe I'll sit it out. These new folders seem to come and go, and sometimes Outlook crashes and on restarting my inbox is empty but on refresh the emails come back again. As far as I can see deleting the new folders doesn't help, so let's hope there is a fix soon!!
Same problem.
