SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Migration Wizard for Lotus Notes to migrate a mailbox from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, some folders are not migrated. This problem occurs if a folder name contains a vertical bar character (|) followed by an alias. Additionally, the Migration Wizard for Lotus Notes does not report an error.



CAUSE
You can append more than one alias by using a vertical bar character. However, you must use a folder name that does not have a vertical bar character followed by an alias to successfully migrate the folders. A vertical bar character followed by an alias is not a standard part of the folder's name.
