I have a user that is trying to move emails from her inbox to her personal folder.  She gets an error  "Cannot move the items.  The item cannot be moved.  It was either already moved or deleted, or access was denied."  We are using Outlook 2007/Exchange2003 sp2.  The error happens either when she tried to click and drag or right clikc move.  Please advise.

Thanks.

How many items? Outlook can cough if you try and move too many items at a try.
How large is the PST file?

Simon.

I have also seen this happen if a particular item is corrupted in some fashion.  You'll be able to determine if this is the case if you reduce the number of items being moved until they actually move.  Eventually you'll get to the point where a single message refuses to move.  You can also test by attempting to move that message to a different folder (including Deleted Items).  If it still refuses to move, then your choices are to keep it in the mailbox as is, or bypass the Deleted Items folder by using Shift-Del.

It seems that your Outlook PST file is corrupted.Other possible reason could be the insufficient permission problems or attainment of maximum file size limit of the target folder. If the target folder is an archive PST and has ANSI format, its allowed file size limit is 2 GB. Try to delete the unwanted data from an over-sized .pst file and then compact it to reduce its overall size.
In order to repair the damaged PST, first take backup of your PST and then run built-in Inbox Repair Tool (Scanpst.exe) utility. However, if the built-in tool does not work, you can use a third-party Outlook pst repair application for more accurate and efficient results.

Hi,

In case of error while moving your OST to PST, I might think that your OST could be corrupted because there many reasons for an OST to get corrupted like power failure, network connection which prohibits the access or even movement of the mailboxes in OST files. So in this regards I can recommend you a tool which worked excellently for me in repairing my corrupt OST and then restoring them to PST. To know more features of the tool go to http://www.convertosttopst.us/

Simple to use Scanpst & Scanost tool to recover emails from unusable ost file . Scanpst to repair a damaged or corrupted Outlook PST file, instead of performing the repair task, the tool hangs endlessly and does not respond and Scanost scan corrupt Offline OST files. Then restore exchange ost file to outlook pst. For more information please visit http://diskdatarecovery.jimdo.com/2012/06/12/exchange-ost-to-pst-convrsion-tool/
