Lost mail folders when moving to a Personal Folder

[Joseph Barneski]

Acting as Help Desk, I moved a users folders from under his INBOX (located on
an Exchange Server) to a Personal Folder on a network personal drive.

Everything seemed to go well and the folders moved fine. Then there was a
connection error and I lost connection to his Pesonal folder till the next
morning.

When he logged in the next morning, only a few of the folders were visible.
The rest seem to have disappeared.

I have checked Deleted items, Restore deleted items, looked for backup pst
and ost files all to no avail.

Are these mails gone? Or is there something I can do to retrieve them?

Third Party software is NOT an option.

Thank you,
Joseph Barneski

You do backup right? Restore from the most recent backup.

Judy,

Do you REALLY think if the member had a backup that I would be asking this
question?

I didn't come here for 'typical' help desk tripe. I came here seeking REAL
answers. So please don't use my thread to advertise your 'Survey' and
personal websites.

To all the OTHER WELL intentioned users out there... I can still use some
help with this situation and would greatly appreciate the assistance.

Thank you,
Joe

The only solution I know of is to restore from a backup. Sorry if you don't
want to hear the bad news. Regular backups are pretty basic practice.
