The folder is typically invisible because it's located in the non-IPM subtree of a mailbox. Outlook doesn't know how to look there.
The one you now see is from the restored mailbox. You can delete it if you don't want/need it. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Bill Songstad [mailto:bsongs...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 1:20 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: New-MailboxRestoreRequest -TargetRootFolder reveals recoverable items folder I did a restore of a user folder to a new folder in their mailbox using the -TargetRootFolder parameter in Exchange 2010SP1. The original folder was restored to the new location but in the root of the new folder was the Recoverable Items folder and all of its subfolders. It appears to be current, but the restore was from a backup yesterday so it could just look current and be yesterdays. Is this to be expected? I thought that folder was pretty much always invisible. Is it in fact the real recoverable items folder for that users current mailbox, or the recoverable items folder from the recovery database mailbox? Can it be deleted without hosing the retention strategy? It seems that my testing is generating more questions than answers. As always, I am very thankful for the group's wisdom. -Bill --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
