    I have a user who had a folder called 1-done and it renamed itsself to Archive. Why? It's just a simple question. "Facepalm"

    I migrated him to Exchange online a couple weeks ago and enabled online archiving. That's the only change I would think could have triggered this. In his online archive the folder is still named 1-done. Also the archive folder cannot be renamed back to 1-done. Something else strange is when you right click an email and hover over move, the list of folders had 1-done. As soon as I clicked 1-done the next time you looked at the menu it was called Archive.

    Thanks,

    John

    Hi John,

    Technically, Outlook won't rename your folders. It could be hard to find out who renamed the folder and why it was renamed, however, you may try to use the MFCMAPI tool to rename the folder to its original name. To do this, please follow:

    1. Download MFCMAPI tool here.

    2. Double click on it to run, click Session > Logon and choose the profile you are using.

    3. Double click on the default data file you are using for your account. 

    4. Expand Root - Mailbox (or Root Container)

    5. Expand IPM_SUBTREE (or Top of Outlook Data Files)

    6. Locate the folder you want to rename. Click on it twice so that you can edit the name. Change the name to what you want.

    7. Close the window and return to the main MFCMAPI window. Exit MFCMAPI.

    8. Open Outlook and whether the folder name was changed back successfully.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Steve Fan
