Outlook destroys emails...

[JeremyB]

.... when I move them from Inbox (in Mailbox) to Deleted Items (in Personal
Folders).

I do this in error when moving messages from the Inbox to a Personal Folders
archive. Deleted Items is the first folder in the Personal Folders.

When I try to undo, I get the following:

"Cannot undo. Special folders, including the Inbox, Contacts, Calendar,
Notes, Tasks, and Journal folders, cannot be moved."

I am using Outlook 2003 with an Exchange server.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Nothing is filters and I have tried advanced search to look for the emails
without success.

How does moving emails from inbox to deleted items in personal folders
destroy them?

The messages disappear and cannot be found. I can not find them either with
advanced find and the folders are not filtered.

After they are dropped into the Deleted Items folder in Personal Folders
starting from the Inbox, the messages disappear/are unavailable/are
un-searchable/ are destroyed(?).

If I move a message from a folder within Personal Folders to Deleted Items
within Personal Folders, the message appears within the Deleted Items folder.
