filter applied in outlook is preventing files from syncing to exchange server
I am migrating inbox file from a IMAP server to Exchange Server. Initially I connect my outlook to the IMAP server to download all the user's files and then I export it to a PST file. Then I connect the Exchange account to Outlook and import the pst file to Exchange.
I discovered a problem. When the pst file is imported to exchange, it says "Filter Applied" in the lower left corner of my outlook. As a result, I don't see all the files loading to Exchange when I view them in OWA. Why is this happening? Does it mean that I am not importing all the files? I don't see the files unless I go through each folder and remove the filter. How can I stop this?
