As part of a recent migration from one Exchange server to another, I ran exmerge on all mail boxes first for safe keeping. On one mail box, on the sent items folder, I got a ton of those "MAPI_W_PARTIAL_COMPLETION" errors. Each of those messages had a PDF attachment. In my case, I chose to ignore and move on. I have a suggestion on this, which I think Greg alluded to: Exmerge the entire mail box. Import into Outlook configured as a POP3 or what ever. All you are going to do is clean. Go through the messages and delete those causing the problem. Then either export from Outlook to a pst and exmerge back into Exchange, or configure Outlook as a IMAP client and drag the messages to the folder under that account.
