A few weeks ago we implemented in-place archiving for one mailbox.
The user now states that many sticky notes from Outlook are now missing.
He uses Microsoft 365 Apps for business (ver 2406) on a windows 10 laptop.
I have checked the 'Notes List' option in the Outlook app and can see an entry for 'Notes - Online Archive' as well as 'Notes - Archives' but the missing notes aren't there.
I tried a fresh Outlook profile - same results.
I tried to search for notes in Purview Content Search using the file extensions of 'sqlite' but it found nothing.

Welcome to our forum!
For better research, please provide more details about this case:
Is the note only partially missing?
Can it be retrieved in the Outlook search box?
What's the version of your Outlook? (File > Office Account > About Outlook). Please make sure you have upgraded your Outlook to the latest version.
Also, please try to check if you can find the note from OWA.
