At some point a user has managed to move his Deleted Items folder into his
drafts folder. Is there anyway to get this moved back to where it's
supposed to be?

I've tried running outlook with the /resetfolders switch, but this hasn't
helped.

Thanks,
Alex

Presumably you've tried to drag it back?

Start Outlook once with the /resetfolders command line switch.

D'Oh! Must have been smudged glasses. Did you try the /resetfoldernames
switch? If this is a PST, then the simplest fix may be to create a new PST,
make it the default delivery location, then copy everything you wish to keep
from the old to the new PST.

it's the folders on the exchange server that he's managed to move. no idea
how he managed to move it in the first place. could have been any version
of outlook/OE IMAP or even on Exchange 5.5 prior to our upgrade to 2k3 a
year or so ago.

/resetfoldernames didn't work either :/

thx anyway. it's not as though he's complaining, it just annoyed me when i
was building him a new laptop (and he never see's his deleted items folder,
so never empties it :( )
