CAUSE
This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:
 * You used the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Merge program (Exmerge.exe) to migrate data from Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 mailboxes in a different Exchange organization.
 * During the Exmerge.exe process, you selected the option to extract associated folder messages from the source information store and to import those messages to the target information store. For example, in the Source Server dialog box, you clicked Options, and then you clicked to select the Associated folder messages check box on the Data tab.

Note Associated folder messages are used to store folder rules and views.

In this scenario, when you try to move a mailbox that has been migrated by using Exmerge.exe, the move operation is not successful if the mailbox contains a message copy rule or a message move rule that is corrupted.
