 From Outlook help

Conflicts   Contains all the multiple copies of conflicting items in 
your mailbox (mailbox: Location on a Microsoft Exchange server where 
your e-mail is delivered. Your administrator sets up a mailbox for each 
user. If you designate a personal folder file as your e-mail delivery 
location, messages are routed to it from your mailbox.). An InfoBar  at 
the top of the original item advises you that a conflict for this item 
exists. The conflicting item is stored in the Conflicts folder. Clicking 
the InfoBar will bring up a list of conflicting items and allow you to 
resolve the conflict by determining which item you want to keep.

If you have made changes to an item, but are not seeing the updated item 
in your Navigation Pane folders, check for an InfoBar notice at the top 
of the item. If you cannot find the original item, check the Conflicts 
folder. It is possible that your changes caused a conflict with the 
original item, and the changes will exist in the Conflicts folder.
