I was in the process of moving a folder that was in my Outlook 2006 to a
personal folder. The folder containted over 600 messages. After the move was
complete it just disappeared. I haven't been able to locate in my deleted
mail or my recycle bin on my desktop. Has this happened to anyone else?
PLEASE HELP!

You're using non existent Outlook version.
The folder containted over 600 messages. After the move was

How exactly did you move the folder? Are you able to see the folder at the
destination? Is there Exchange server in this setup?

Btw, deleted Outlook items go to Deleted Items folder. They don't go to
Windows Recycle Bin.
 
There isnt an outlook 2006, the outlook data file 'is' a Personal Folders
file, so any folder would allready have been part of the personal folders
 
What version do you have? Try Help | About. It should say 2002, 2003 or
2007.

Can you see the Personal Folder in the Folder List (the left edge of
screen)?

Where did you intend to place the data you were moving? Have you ever done
this before successfully? Sorry but I want to determine if you're a novice
at this ;)

I use Outlook 2003 and a few weeks back while migrating from OE to Outlook, I
lost 3 Folders and all its sub-folders - all of them were under my Persona
Folder !!!

ARe you the original poster? Linzo23 posted the original issue. If you
are, why did you change your handle? If not, please start your own thread.
 
No I am not the original poster!
I didn't know that we can't jump in if we have a similar problem....
Sorry about that...

It makes it easier to diagnose a problem if you start your own thread and
give your own details. Many similar-seeming situations turn out to be
unrelated.
