Posted on 2016-08-25
Hi All,
I have an extra account in my Outlook 2010 and I am trying to manage folders on this account but i got this error message "Cannot move the items. Cannot copy this folder because it may contain private items." This Outlook 2010 client is working together with our Exchange 2010 Server.

First of all, please make sure you have all the latest updates installed.
If this issue persists under that condition, please create new independent profiles for both account, and log on with the one you need to copy the folder from, and set the delegate access to the other account. After doing that, you will be able to copy the folder when log on with the another account.
