Status: offline 		Greetings. Trying to evaluate GFI MA and attempted to import from PST files using PST-Exchange Email Export into Pickup folder.

Things seemed to be going fine until I decided to re-work the entire setup - thinking the software did nothing but copy emails out of my PST's.

Got everything setup the way I want it and went to re-import those PSTs only to find nothing in the folders I want to re-import from.

Opened the PST in Outlook and nothing is there! Is this by design and why?

Might want to make that a little more "in the face" kind of warning.

Why would that be desired behavior?

Status: offline 		I did not have a hand in writing the software but I can theorize that it is inline with the same idea of the Exchange portion of the tool marking the messages in as it exports them so if you re run the tool to do not get dupes. Since there is no mechanism for this in PSTs we remove the mail once it has been successfully exported.

Status: offline 		Just seems that it makes more sense to check it against archive then add if it doesn't exist rather than modifying the PST or Exchange Mailbox which is ultimately a file/system outside of the email archive and most likely has other uses than just going into the archive.

Legato/EMC's EmailXtender worked like that.

At the very least that "warning" should prefaced by more than - Please Note.
