    We are running Exchange 2010 SP1 RU4 in our environment and I have a few users this week that are moving emails maunually (no Auto-Archive). When they move a subfolder within their Inbox to a local Archive .pst the folder moves but there are no emails within the folder. But if they highlight the emails within the subfolder and click move (to archive) the emails move successfully. The users in question are running Outlook 2007 SP2 Cached Mode and it still happens when I change the setting to Online Mode. I can't find the emails which results to a restore from backup.

    I recommend that you post this question to the Outlook forum.

    Sounds like a knackered PST file to me, or are you storing the PST file on a network share? That can do the same thing.

    Although if you are allowing users to use PST files you may as well delete the messages as they are pretty much lost anyway. It is only a matter of time before the PST file gets corrupted and the messages are gone.

    If you must retain the email then invest in a proper archiving solution.
