The managed folder mailbox assistant was unable to process a mailbox. It detected a cycle among the policies.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that the managed folder assistant skipped processing the mailbox specified in the event description. The managed folder assistant uses managed content settings, and managed folder mailbox policies, to process the retention of mail items and to journal information as required.

This event may occur when two or more managed content settings result in mail items being moved from a source managed folder to a destination managed folder and from a destination managed folder back to a source managed folder.

User Action

To resolve this error, reconfigure the managed content settings specified in the event description. For more information, see Deploying Messaging Records Management on Microsoft TechNet.
