FYI: In case you do not know, PST folder is the personal outlook file that stored in your hard disk rather than your email server. The file extension is *.pst. Your folders or all your emails in your Inbox are stored in the email server not in your hard disk.
So, what will you do after you see this message? Yes, you will wait until the synchronizing is done then you only proceed to move your folders. Unfortunately after 2 days, the error message remains the same. What a crap?
Well luckily I found a solution. I don’t know there will be any data lost due to synchronization. But hey, what did you do with the synchronization until 2 days also haven’t finished? Let’s check it out my solution.
Basically the workaround is very simple. You just need to disable “Cached Exchange Mode”. After that you can move or do whatever your want with your inbox folder. You can enable back the “Cached Exchange Mode” after that if you wish.
(2) Double click on your email account.
(4) Just uncheck the “Use Cached Exchange Mode”. You're now done!
(5) Do whatever you want (e.g. delete or move) your MS inbox folder.
Note: Cached exchange mode basically allows you to view your outlook content during offline. This is extremely useful if your connection to your Microsoft Exchange email is very bad. This is usually for a laptop or mobile users where most of the time you want to view your outlook content offline. If you’re a desktop user and the connection is always good, you may consider not to use this cached exchange mode feature at all.
P/S: Also, I don't see any data lost after moving the folder. So I guess it should be safe? Hope this helps!
Very helpful! Many thanks for helping me solve my issue!
Thanks so much -- you rock! this was driving me crazy!
I had same problem, but I don´t use Exchange Server (so I don´t see the checkbox you mention).
Anyway, I also could not rename or delete folders (they kept coming back).
