I had two archive folders appearing in my Mailbox which appeared to be
duplicates. In sorting this out I created a new Archive1.pst and then ran
AutoArchive with default settings. I then moved (dragged & dropped) many mail
items from original archive into the new archive as I wanted them to be
retained and easily accessible. I was checking data file sizes and could see
changes in relative sizes as I moved items in/out and checked that the items
that i had moved were definitely in the new Archive.
I then removed original archive data file via
File>DataFileManagement>Remove. I then ran AutoArchive one more time. On
rechecking the new archive I found that none of the items that I had moved
were now appearing. Although I haven't deleted the original Pst, it no longer
contains the mail items I moved... as they were moved rather than copied.
What did I do wrong? Did the final autoarchive 'overwrite' everything?
Would like to know for the future.
Thanks
