I think I must have hit a short cut some how and now I can't see my inbox, all I can see are my sent items. It's as though I have expanded the view on my sent box but now can't get it back to show my inbox and all my sub folders.

Chosen solution

Your folder pane is either turned off of hidden.

To turn it back on go to the menu bar and select View-Layout-Folder Pane. No menu bar? Press the alt key.

If that is already selected the pane is hidden. Move your mouse to the left margin of the window and watch for it to change to a double headed arrow. When it changes, left click, hold and drag to the right to uncover the folder pane.
