A couple of years ago on this list someone was talking about trying to recover from this. At the time I thought it would be a good idea to do a broadcast reminding users not to "store" any messages in the SPAM or DELETED folders on their "new" Exchange email folders. Up to then they could do that as they were all on POP from a Linux box and everything was in a PST folder. I did not think that the users would go to their PST folders and move all their "stored" messages to the Exchange server INBOX. Man was that a nightmare. It took 3 days to get all of them fixed and understanding the difference between the Exchange INBOX and the PST INBOX.
