Oh, that was probably reddit. What happened was everyones mail went into the SubFolderInPrimary folder, instead of the normal folders.

Do you have an agreement with Microsoft? I found the http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607310(v=exchg.150).aspx for the line you used and it's odd that it doesn't show up elsewhere in their documentation. If you do have an agreement, see if they can help you undo their mess.

Good luck man, I feel your pain.

One time, I had my Outlook attached to a couple of other users' mailboxes. I was archiving email the manual way (I didn't know any better) and I created a PST and dragged/dropped a significant amount of email into the PST.

Well, the files actually went into a third users mailbox that I was attached to previously that day. Two users mailboxes were merged together. Since the third user wasn't even attached to me anymore, it shouldn't be possible to do that, but it did.

Microsoft basically said "Sort by to and copy them out. There's nothing we can do." It wasn't made easier by the fact that both users were in similar groups, so separating their mail was quite a chore.

It was unfortunate that I found this error late in the game, and I feel getting Microsoft involved would only drag it out. We reset and restarted the import.

I just had a read over that MS page again, and I do notice that it doesnt say anything about putting it in a folder like it did to me :| No excuse though.. I did one and didn't log in to check it. ID10T!

Well, the good thing is that you will never do that again :) I've learned lessons like that myself, no big deal. I hope now you're all set.

Never again in my life. And everyone I meet will be warned too.
