Message Class is only "IPM"

[Boon_Cheng_Lee]

All,

Anyone came across when messages are copied from PST to Exchange Inbox, the message type became "IPM" message class?  There's no extension behind.

Cheers,

Hi Boon, can you give a little more info.

Are you migrating pst files into archives?

IPM message class would normally mean it is a simple outlook mail item.

Please just run throught the process you are performing.

Hi Meeker, the process is simple...  I move these messages from my exisitng PST(s) to the destinated folders for archival.  After moving these messages, message class reflected as IPM instead of IPM.Note.

We are not using PST migration utility.  This is a manual process of moving messages from PST(s) to Archival folders...

So, I am presuming you are referencing the 'message class' from the outlook view, fields. Also that on the un imported messages you see Ipm.note, I am also assuming that in the pst folder when you look at the message class, you see ipm.note.

So, the action of moving from pst to inbox/sub folder removes the .note then it is a strange issue.

Sorry, havn't come across this, and to me it looks like an MS call as opposed to EV, maybe someone else has seen it before.

Good note

In Outlook add the message class column so you can see the Original class.

hi jimbo2, that's what I see on the Message Colum in Outlook. it only states "IPM"... 

well, guess Meeker suggestion might be true... I should consider checking with MS Support..

I'm just curious as to why you aren't using the PST migrator....

hi SDH, that's because user choose to move "required" messages rather than porting over everything...
