Description

Its the only system I have seen it on, it happens if I try and Perm delete more than say about 3,000 in one go,, lower that number and the delete works, error attached, might be unrelated, but we are unable to get a retention policy to kick in for these Public Folders, that's why we are using MFCMapi to delete the messages

Research direction

The report names no source file, entry point, or test. Start by reproducing permanent deletion of more than about 3,000 messages in MFCMAPI against the affected Exchange Server and inspect the attached error; done means the operation no longer crashes or fails at that threshold.
