I've found that when this happens to us (and it has several times), that there were probably "ghost" permissions on the folder from an account that has been removed from AD. We've never been successful in recovering one of those.

Make sure you have the required permissions to recover items in this folder, and try again. If the problem persists, contact your administrator." Sadly, I am the Administrator. This 1 PF is 3 levels down, messages in it, but no sub-folders. The user that deleted it has Owner rights for the folder it was deleted from and the deleted folder itself. As do Email Admins. The Owner that deleted it gets the same error I do when they try to recover it (I turned "dumpster always on" for them). The behavior is you can see the folder to recover, it lets you start recovery, you can see the folder appear and messages then start to appear in it (if you're watching from a different Outlook client), and then right at the end you get the above error and it vanishes from the PF structure. It is then in "Recover Deleted Items" again and ready for another try. What I've done: -I have tested creating, deleting, and recovering other folders with similar Rights, (and ones not similar) etc... and all works fine. -I have run "isinteg -s ... -fix -test alltests" against the PF store. -I have turned off Virus scanning (Trend Scanmail). -I've searched Google Groups, and it looks like the last couple months there are a quite a few Admins in the same boat as me. The only happy endings I found were one that ran isinteg, and one that just kept trying and trying and finally it worked (feel the power of Admin). One thing that comes to mind is that this PF was probably created back in the Exchange 5.5 days and was on a server upgraded in place to E2K. Any tips?
