Outlook moving messages

I have a user that is connected to exchange on our Sbs 2008 server. They are using outlook 2010. We have an issue where it seems some inter office and outer office emails are just vanishing. I check for rules but did not see any. Where else should I check?

I have had user think this was happening and their mail was just sorted wrong.

Also check and make sure they have not filters set in Outlook.

They are only retrieving from one location. I check the sort but it's sorted right. Are filters like rules? Where do I check those?

They are only retrieving from one location. I do not understand what you mean. Sometimes they sort it strange and it is not sorted by date received. You just click on the header of each column to sort the email.

Filter.

View tab on the ribbon. There are several option but the filter is under View settings.

Regrading multiple computers this would only happen if they were using a POP to pull the email correct.

This would be an unusual setup for a SBS 2008 machine although some do set that up for Phones. If you do have POP3 setup for Phones check there also.
When a user can't see all messages in a Outlook folder its typically due to a view or filter that has been changed.

Correct, we are not using pop.  We are using exchange.  So I searched through the computer last night.  I saw nothing.  There were no rules or filters set.  Its a weird issue.  Maybe its an user error, but I don't know how they would disappear.  I would think a search would find them if they were in another folder, but searches retrieve nothing.
Is ti happening on a regular basis? Or did it just happen one time.

one at a time, with different e-mails, sent by different people.

Now this problem is happening with another e-mail account.
Do you have any kind of archiving system that reaches into the mail boxes?

Finally figured this out.  There was an user that was using Outlook 2011 for Mac.  She had her mailbox open and the mailboxs of the two users losing mail.  She had automatic rules setup which was moving the messages.
Why did you split the points with one person? Did you mean to click on the same person for the assist?
