This is covered by FAQ 5.7:

ange-folder>

Basically, many people see this, with various versions of
Windows/Outlook/Exchange (typically newer versions of each).  We don't know
why this occurs, or why it started occuring (it didn't originally), although
I suspect that appearance is related to a change in a version of
Outlook/Exchange.

Basically, we move messages through MAPI as Microsoft documents.  Outlook
should then refresh the display (it knows that the message has moved, which
is why you can't open it), but doesn't.  No-one has been able to figure out
how to force a refresh.
