I very sad as I thought I was doing everything by the book to keep my messages.

1.- I moved an IMAP folder with subfolders to a local PST
2.- I moved the subfolders back (one by one) to a new IMAP account, I thought everything was ok because it took some time to finish the moving.
3.- I deleted the PST folders (dumb)
4.- When I try to consult the IMAP subfolders, they are simply gone.
5. It seems strange because if I see the amount of space in the email management console and it is taking a lot of space, so I think the mails are there.

6.- Is there a way to solve this?


Please

On #4 - you're looking in webmail?

If folders in Outlook appear empty, change the view on the folder.

If the only copy of the messages is in the IMAP data file in Outlook - export them to a pst file asap.

Is the pst file in the Recycle bin? If yes, restore it.
 
Dear Diana:

I'm honored that you replied to my message,

On #4 - you're looking in webmail?
I'm looking in webmail, no subfolders appear

If folders in Outlook appear empty, change the view on the folder.
I have changed the view, no subfolders appear

If the only copy of the messages is in the IMAP data file in Outlook - export them to a pst file asap.
Done that, no success, no subfolders appear
Size of exported PST is HUGE

Dear Diane:

This is what I found out after running the SCANPST on the exported pst...

The folders are there, image attached,

There must be a way to recover them!

When opening the repaired pst in outlook the folders are NOT there.
Maybe with another repairing tool.....


Please help!
I'm desperate

If one of the repair programs can't find the missing messages, they can't be recovered. Sorry.

It's my experience that if any one of Stellar, DataNumen, or Kernal products cant repair, it's officially too corrupt and the other utilities won't have any better luck.
 
Thank you, Diane, as I said before, I´m a fan of yours.
