I am using Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2003. I have created personal folders for my users so they can store and save all their old email. However, rather than user the default location (documents and settings/username/local settings/application data/microsoft/outlook), I wanted to create the folder in their My Documents folder so they could back it up along with all their files. Unfortunately, when I did this, and after auto archive ran, it moved all their old mail from their Inbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc., but it did not put them in the personal folder that I created. I double checked the autoarchive settings and confirmed that the personal folder I created was the one chosen to be used by the archive feature.


Does anyone have any clue as to where these messages are going? Or, have they been sent to cyber space and are gone forever?
