Empty folder

[WJason]

We're using Windows XP, OL2003, and Exchange (not sure of the version).

This one has me stumped: A user misplaced his laptop (A) and had to borrow
another (B). On laptop B, he created a folder in the Inbox called, let's say
AllMyMail and moved [sic] all his email into it. Later he found laptop A.
He opened OL on laptop A and dragged [sic] AllMyMail into Archive. Now,
AllMyMail is empty and his Inbox on A and B contain only the emails received
since AllMyMail was created. Any ideas where the email might be. I've run a
search for *.pst on Laptop B with no luck. I'll search Laptop A as well but
it's not here right now.

I tell users not to modify Archive but to let AutoArchive do it's thing. If
they want to manually save emails, I tell them to create a personal folder.
Good policy?

you're doing all the right things to find it. Maybe also check the Views in
case you're looking at a filtered view.
