Bob, thank you for answering my question. I did find the information you wrote about in the "Main Identities" folder, which is in the "Identities" folder which is in the "Microsoft User Data" folder. I will keep this for future reference.
The problem I had was solved by un-clicking Unread only under View in the menue. I don't know how it got checked in the first place. Before trying that I followed up another suggestion to hold down option and open Outlook Exp. which rebuilt the program. But your information is important to keep on file.
