Latest Message Title: On-premises and tenant-to-tenant mailbox migrations initially fail to complete, then complete after restarting

User impact: On-premises and tenant-to-tenant mailbox migrations initially fail to complete, then complete after restarting.

More info: When the issue first started, mailbox migrations were failing even after they restarted. Currently, the affected mailbox migrations appear to succeed after they automatically restart.

Current status: After our investigation, we’ve determined that a recent change altered the source where the migration service selects a specific folder for copying during migrations, causing the incorrect folder to be selected and the copy job failing. We’ve developed a fix to ignore this folder, as the folder is non-essential and is being deprecated, and are testing it to ensure it resolves impact as expected before applying it to the affected environment. 

Scope of impact: This issue may impact any admins doing on-premises or tenant-to-tenant mailbox migrations.

Root cause: A recent change altered the source where the migration service selects a specific folder for copying during migrations, causing the incorrect folder to be selected and the copy job failing.
