    This may be a dumb question but I haven’t been able to find an answer on google. We are thinking about deploying Exchange 2010 (with sp1), with the new archiving feature I see that it will copy the archived items into a folder called personal archive. Will it also copy the folder structure of the original items? So for example if a user had a folder under their inbox called stuff when an email gets moved to the personal archive will it be in a folder called stuff or just in the main personal archive folder?

    Yes the folder structure will be automatically created if the messages are moved to the archive by a retention policy.

    From: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979795.aspx

    "Messages are moved to a folder in the archive mailbox that has the same name as the source folder in the primary mailbox. If a folder with the same name doesn't exist in the archive mailbox, it is created when the Managed Folder Assistant moves a message. Re-creating the same folder hierarchy in the archive mailbox allows users to find messages easily. "
