You don't have appropriate permission to perform this operation

[BigCat]

I am using Outlook 2007. I am trying to move some messages from my corporate
Exchange folders to my personal folders (.pst) and I get the message: "Cannot
move the items. You don't have appropriate permission to perform this
operation."

I can move messages ok within the .pst folders but not from Exchange to
..pst. I want to do this to be able to save some messages as I have no further
space on the exchange server.

I suspect this is being blocked by a domain policy or registry setting.
Initially, I was not even able to access PST files. I found a registry
setting called "DisablePST" which I set to 0, then I was able to access my
..pst file. However, I can't move any emails from exchange to these folders
due to the above error.

Appreciate any help

Thanks

Are you trying to move or copy? Describe the EXACT steps you're taking.

2 ways I've tried:

a) simply dragging the message from the exchange folder to the pst folder.
b) right clicking on the message and choosing the "move to folder.." option.

I get the same error on both. I am not sure how to copy. I don't see an
option to "copy" the message.

Thanks

a) simply dragging the message from the exchange folder to the pst
folder. b) right clicking on the message and choosing the "move to
folder.." option.

By default, drag-and-drop is a move. I suspect you do not have Delete
permission on the public folder.

I get the same error on both. I am not sure how to copy. I don't see
an option to "copy" the message.

Right-click and drag. When you release the mouse button, in addition to
"Move" you should see "Copy". You should also be able to select the message
and click Edit>Copy to Folder.
