Known Issues

Issue

Issue Description

INS-230929

In-Place Restore Failure for Deleted Public Folders

Issue: An in-place restore of deleted Public Folders may fail immediately after the deletion.

Root Cause: After a Public Folder is deleted, the Microsoft EWS API may continue to return a “folder already exists” error for a limited period. During this time, the API blocks restoration to the original location.

Workaround: Use the Restore as a Copy option instead of performing an in-place restore.
