Inbox folder missing in archive explorer

Hello,

If the steps in Rob's link do not help resolve the issue, you can also try the following steps:

1.) Disable the mailbox from archiving

2.) Export the archive to PST using the Export Wizard from the VAC

3.) Either delete the archive or during the export to PST use the option to delete the content of the archive as it is exported

4.) Clean up the old shortcuts (now orphaned) in the mailbox by doing an advanced find in Outlook on the message class containing "EnterpriseVault"

5.) Reenable the mailbox for archiving

6.) Import the PST back into the new archive/existing archive (depending on what you did in Step 3) with the option to create shortcuts in the mailbox using the Import Wizard from the VAC

You can also open a case with Support who can provide you with a tool called "ArchiveFolderFix" that is usually able to resolve the NULL issues in the SQL view automatically.  However, in some instances it is not able to and the export/import method will guarantee success.

Hope that helps!
