I was copyinging it. However, I;ve found out now the real issue, the user
decided that he wanted all his mail on the mail server (we deployed an
exchange server for them and were slowly getting everyone up to the exchange
functionality) he took matters into his own hands and clicked and dragged
his mail from 'personal folders', to 'User - Mailbox' so essentially from
his computer up to the exchange server. During the moev he rebooted his
computer resulting in the pst file i now get to deal with. any hope at
recovering anything? Im guessing not.

I was in the process of backing up a PST before moving the client to
exchange. During this process Mcafee decides to kick on, and locks
the computer in question, and the pst file is now showing limited
emails, but the whole subfolder structure.

Why not go back to the original PST and make another copy? That should
still be intact.

By the way, when you say "backing up" instead of "copying" an alarm goes
off in my head. A backup of a PST IS just a copy. Were you doing
something other than just copying the PST?
