Windows 7 - Local Store Folder - are there still indexing problems?

Asked By Roland Schweiger on 21-Jul-12 10:44 AM
Yet once again i seem to have problems with the local store folder(s)
of WLM 2011 - latest build, latest Win7_64bit version.

There are numerous bolders and subfolders ind i have imported folders
from other machines.

To get rid of the "imported folders" structure, i manually re-created
most of my subfolders and then marked all messages in the old imported
folders,
and dragged_and_dropped them into the newly created folders.

80% work fine, but periodically i get "an unknown error message" and
then i am left behind with message bodies whose "content cannot be
found".
It does look like some indexing problem.

Though i am convinced that WLM handles large folder structures better
than e.g. OutlookExpress, which had its own folder system.

The ONLY antivirus / antimalware software i use is MSE (microsoft
security essentials) and i am convinced it properly handles WLM
folders.

Does anyone have a clue why such indexing problems turn up?

greetings

From my experience...its better to copy from one location to another, =
allow=20
WLM to index the new, rather than drag and drop (i.e. re-index the =
existing=20
index).

I see. Thought i was 'smart' by (re)creating every folder manually
(beginning with an underscore to distinguish from the original ones)
and then was disappointed by the error messages. So copying rather
than moving the messages would be acomplished by holding the CTRL key
while dragging-and-dropping?
