I have got a weird problem. I went to put an email in a folder today and noticed that the folder was white instead of blue and has a drop arrow to the left of it. I cannot put anything in it and there is nothing in it. I am pretty sure I had mail messages in it but I don't know when this occurred? I have provided a link for a screen shot I took of it. Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I saw something similar to this if I deleted items in the folder, but it would seem to take a while to delete, or a couple tries. It happened more than once, but I could never really figure out what steps made it happen, but it always was some combination of deleting files and folders.
