I have been categorizing my mails and adding the categories to the favorites. When clicking on the category in the favorites it showed me all mails in the category which was fine up to a couple of hours ago. Now it shows nothing. When I click the 3 dots it opens a pop up telling me "X items (0 unread)" but it doesn't show any items. The same goes in outlook.com in the web

I've also just logged on to outlook.live.com/mail and the same there....still unresolved.

2025-03-03T09:29:09+00:00 Still got the issue here. Not all my categories are affected, and I can't see any pattern as to which ones are.
The problem exists on the web version (using Chrome) and the desktop version, although in typical Microsoft fashion the categories are all in a different mixed up order in the desktop version!
