Undo a Move?

Guest

I used Outlook's Move command to move folders from my PST location to my
server location (I needed access to those folders through Outlook Web Access,
so I needed them out of the PST on my local drive).

The folders seem to have moved, but many of the e-mail messages seem *not*
to have moved (that is, the folders are empty).

I realize now I should have used the copy command (and maybe that I should
have copied the messages as well as the folders), but does anyone have any
idea whether there is some sort of "hidden history" that would allow me to
find the missing e-mail messages and restore them into my PST? They are not
in my Deleted Items (I've already tried recovering my deleted items).

I know this is a shot in the dark, but I had to ask.

Outlook keeps no history of item or folder moves. Advanced Find may be useful in locating the items.

Change the delivery location to the Exchange mailbox in order to keep the
data there.
